EVACUATION PLANS
Develop a home evacuation plan and practice it with your family and neighbors. Know what to do if you are instructed to evacuate your home or community:
 Every child and other member of your family should know exactly how to get out of your home in case of fire or other emergency.
 Find at least two ways out of each room in your home if possible.
 If you live in an apartment building, know the evacuation plan.
 Agree on a place nearby to meet once everyone gets out of the house or apartment.
Plan how to take care of pets. Remember that, with the exception of guide dogs, shelters usually do not allow pets.
Learn how to shut off utilities such as gas, electricity, and water.
