Five Steps for Planning a Safe Escape
1.
Draw a floor plan of your home.
2.
Use arrows to show every possible exit. Have at least two for every
room.
3.
Designate a "Safe Meeting Place" so you know everyone has exited.
4.
Designate a
family member to go to a neighbor's house to call 9-1-1
.
5.
Practice, Practice, Practice! In a real fire you don't have time to
think about what you should do. Fire drills will make the steps of a safe escape
second nature.
