Escape Planning

ESCAPE PLAN

• Draw a floor plan with two escape paths and have everyone study it.
• Practice with the whole family.
• Have a meeting place – outside.
• Sleep with your door closed.

ESCAPE RULES

• Keep calm. When in doubt, don’t panic.
• If you smell smoke, arouse the family with an emergency signal.
• Close doors against heat and smoke.
• Test closed doors for heat with the back of your hand. If hot, use the emergency exit.
• If you are in smoke, get low to the floor to breathe better.
• Never re-enter a burning building!
• Assemble at a predetermined meeting place outside and notify the fire department.
