EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLANS 

An emergency evacuation plan should be established for an actual fire alarm 

condition.  For example, the following steps are recommended by the 

National Fire Protection Association and can be used as a guide in 

establishing an evacuation plan for your building. 

Draw up a floor plan of your home.  Show windows, doors, stairs, and 

rooftops that can be used for escape.  Indicate each occupant's escape 

routes.  Always keep these routes free from obstruction.  Determine two 

means of escape from each room.  One will be the normal exit from the 

building.  The other may be a window that opens easily.  An escape ladder 

may have to be located near the window if there is a long drop to the 

ground below.  Set a meeting place outdoors for a headcount of the building 

occupants. 

Practice escape procedures. In a home, sleep with bedroom door closed; 

this will increase your escape time.  If you suspect fire, test the door for 

heat.  If you think it is safe, brace your shoulder against the door and open 

it cautiously.  Be ready to slam the door if smoke or heat rush in.  Practice 

escaping to the outdoors and meeting in an assigned spot.  Call the Fire 

Department from a neighbor's phone. NOTE:  After the installation of your 

Security System has been completed, notify your local Fire and Police 

Departments to give them your name and address for their records.  Early
