Emergency Planning
Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should
develop plans to help prepare for a variety of emergencies.
Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency plans to
include the following:
Understand how to use your security system.
Know the normal state of doors and windows: open,
closed, or locked.
Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack).
Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to
the touch.
Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help
reduce smoke inhalation during your escape.
Meet at a designated outdoor location.
Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if
there is a fire.
Notify the fire department from a neighbor’s phone.
Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if they
hear sirens in the house.
If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do no
enter. Call for emergency assistance with your cell
phone, or from a neighbor’s phone.
