Emergency Evacuation Plans
The National Fire Protection Association recommends that you
establish an emergency evacuation plan to safeguard lives in the
event of a fire or other emergency. Use the following steps as a guide.
Draw a floor plan of your home or business
On a clean sheet of paper, draw the walls, windows, doors, and
stairs. Also draw any obstacles that a person may encounter while
exiting the building such as large furniture or appliances.
Develop escape routes
Determine at least two routes the occupants in each room can take
to safely escape. One route can be the most obvious such as the
door. Another can be through a window that can be easily opened.
If the window is high off the ground, an escape ladder should be
provided.
Draw arrows on the floor plan to show escape routes from each room.
Decide where to meet
Prearrange a meeting place outside and away from where emergency
personnel are likely to be working. A neighbor’s house or across the
street in the front of the house are good locations. Always perform
a head count to make sure all occupants safely exited.
NEVER
ENTER A BURNING BUILDING.
If the head count shows one or more
persons missing, give this information immediately to the authorities.
Never enter a building to look for someone.
Practice your escape plans
Devising an escape plan is only the beginning. For the plan to be
effective everyone should practice the escape routes from each room.
Early detection
The best way to survive a fire or other emergency is to get out
early. The installation of a fire alarm system, with smoke and
carbon monoxide detectors in each room, can greatly decrease
your risk of loss or injury.
