Evacuation Plan
Develop an emergency evacuation plan for use in the event of fire. Here are some
recommendations from the National Fire Protection Association.
Make an evacuation plan for how to leave your home in the case of fire or other
emergency. Sketch a map of your home that shows all the doors and windows. Discuss
the plan with everyone in your home so that everyone knows what to do.
Have at least two ways to exit each room. Make sure that windows and doors open
easily.
Discuss with your family and agree on a single meeting location outside your home.
In the event of fire, get out and stay out. Don’t go back inside for people, pets or
possessions.
Do not open a door if the handle is hot.
If there is smoke stay low to the ground and go under the smoke.
Escape your home before calling the fire department. Call the fire department and police
from the outside meeting place using your cell phone or call from a neighbor’s phone.
Practice your home evacuation plan.
Additional Emergency Preparations
Do not wait until an emergency occurs to make a plan. Talk to each other about what
each person should do in different types of emergency.
