Evacuation Plan
Having an Evacuation Plan for
any possible emergency in your local area, and practicing it on a
regular basis can be the difference between life and death when it comes
to an Emergency Situation. There are several things to consider when
making an Evacuation Plan and in this article we will give you some
things to think about when making your own Evacuation Plan for your
house, or your office.
Every Evacuation Plan needs to have TWO exits out of EACH ROOM in the
building. This could be a door into a hallway that leads outside, a
door that goes straight outside, or a window. When you sit down with
your family or co-workers, you need to discuss where to meet if and when
an emergency situation should come up. You should pick two locations,
the first one close to your current location if it is a minor situation,
and have a second option a few blocks away just in case the area you
are in needs do be blocked off depending on the severity of the
situation. If you are not able to contact your local 911 center before
leaving the house, make sure you either grab your cell phone to take
with you, or designate one family member or co-worker, to go to a
neighbors house or neighboring business, to call 911 to advise of the
situation going on.
Make sure that all family members, any guests, co-workers, and all pets
have been accounted for so that you can tell the first responders on the
scene if all parties are accounted for, or if someone or a pet might
still be in the house or building, and possibly hurt or trapped.
A few other things that some people might try to do, are to try and keep
current pictures, especially of children, handy so that if for some
reason it is one of your children that can not be located for one reason
or another, the local law enforcement will have current pictures to go
on to locate the person as quickly as possible. If you have a garage
that you could stay in to get away from the emergency situation, you
could keep a plastic bin in there with your emergency supplies located
in it. You will want to have about a weeks worth just in case someone
can't get to you if roads are blocked or something of that nature. You
will want food that can be stored that does not need to be refrigerated,
lots of bottled water, blankets to keep you warm if the power should go
out and it is cold where you are. You should also make sure that you
have candles, flashlights, a portable radio, and extra batteries on
hand.
In closing, you should make it a habit to check and change the batteries
of your smoke detector every 6 months if not more often. Write it on a
calendar that you use frequently so that it will help you to remember
to do this.
