Emergency Evacuation Plan

Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of ﬁre. The following steps

are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:

• Position your detector or your interior and/or

exterior sounders so that they can be heard by all

occupants.

• Determine two means of escape from each

room. One path of escape should lead to the

door that permits normal exit from the building.

The other may be a window, should your path be

impassable. Station an escape ladder at such

windows if there is a long drop to the ground.

• Sketch a ﬂoor plan of the building. Show windows,

doors, stairs and rooftops that can be used to

escape. Indicate escape routes for each room.

Keep these routes free from obstruction and post

copies of the escape routes in every room.

• Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you

are asleep. This will prevent deadly smoke from

entering while you escape.

• Try the door. If the door is hot, check your

alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it

cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door if smoke

or heat rushes in.

• When smoke is present, crawl on the ground.

Do not walk upright, since smoke rises and may

overcome you. Clearer air is near the ﬂoor.

• Escape quickly; don’t panic.

• Establish a common meeting place outdoors,

away from your house, where everyone can meet

and then take steps to contact the authorities and

account for those missing. Choose someone to

assure that nobody returns to the house — many

die going back.
