Appendix B: Planning for Emergencies

Develop plans for a variety of emergency situations. Periodically discuss and rehearse emer- gency plans that include the following:

Understand how to use your security system.

Know the normal state of doors and windows; open, closed, or locked.

Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to the touch.

Emphasize that everyone should escape as quickly as possible. Do not stop to gather any belongings.

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 fire department from a neighbor’s phone.

!Warning!If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do not attempt to enter the build- ing. Call for emergency assistance from a neighbor’s phone
