Emergency Evacuation Plan
To establish and regularly practice a plan of escape in the event of fire, the following
steps are recommended by the National Fire Protection Association:
1. Position your detector or your interior and/or exterior sounders so that they can
be heard by all occupants in your home.
2. 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 should be
an alternate escape, such as a window, should your path to that door be
impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to
the ground.
3. 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
route free from obstructions and post copies of the escape routes in every room.
4. Assure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep. This will prevent
deadly smoke from entering while you escape.
5. 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 shut if smoke or heat
rushes in.
6. 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.
7. Escape quickly; don't panic.
8. Establish a 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.
