Emergency Planning
Emergencies happen, so have a plan.
Emergency Planning Tips
• Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency plans.
• Understand how to use your security system.
• Know the normal states 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.
• Smoke is toxic. Stay low and breath strategically when escaping a burning
building.
• Designate a nearby landmark as a safe family re-grouping location.
• Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if there is a re.
• Call 911 as soon as possible but do it in a safe location.
• Do not enter the premises if you arrive and hear sirens. Call for emergency
assistance from a safe location.
