Develop an escape plan for your home or office and practice the plan every month. It is a good idea to practice escaping from every room in your home. The best escape plans allow for two ways to leave every room. If a primary exit is blocked by fire or smoke, a secondary route like a window, could be a life saver.

Designating a meeting place outside the home is an important part of developing a good escape plan. Choose a meeting location away from the home where everyone can meet. This will ensure nobody is hurt looking for someone who is already safe.
