Home escape plan
You may have as little as two minutes to get out. A practiced plan makes them count.
- Know two ways out of every room: usually a door and a window.
- Pick a meeting place out front, like a tree, mailbox or neighbor's driveway.
- Decide who will help babies, older adults and anyone with limited mobility.
- Practice your plan twice a year, including once at night.
- Once you're out, stay out. Never go back in for anything.
In an emergency, always call 911.
