planning
NFPA has recommended the following planning tips and action plans:
Escape planning tips
• Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan. Walk through
your home and inspect all possible exits and escape routes. Households
with children should consider drawing a floor plan of your home, marking
two ways out of each room, including windows and doors. Also, mark the
location of each smoke alarm.
• A closed door may slow the spread of smoke, heat and fire. Install smoke
alarms in every sleeping room, outside each sleeping area and on every
level of the home. NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code® requires
interconnected smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds,
they all sound.
• When you walk through your plan, check to make sure the escape routes
are clear and doors and windows can be opened easily.
• Choose an outside meeting place (i.e. neighbor's house, a light post,
mailbox, or stop sign) a safe distance in front of your home where
everyone can meet after they've escaped. Make sure to mark the location
of the meeting place on your escape plan.
• Go outside to see if your street number is clearly visible from the road. If
not, paint it on the curb or install house numbers to ensure that responding
emergency personnel can find your home.
• Have everyone memorize the emergency phone number of the fire
department. That way any member of the household can call from a
neighbor's home or a cellular phone once safely outside.
• If there are infants, older adults, or family members with mobility
limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in the fire
drill and in the event of an emergency. Assign a backup person too, in
case the designee is not home during the emergency.
