How do I create a fire evacuation plan?

Creating a fire evacuation plan involves several key steps. First, identify all exits in your building. Next, establish a meeting point outside. Then, ensure everyone knows the plan and practices it regularly.

What should I include in the plan?

Your plan should include exit routes, a designated meeting area, emergency contact numbers, and instructions for individuals with disabilities.

How often should we practice the evacuation?

It's recommended to practice your fire evacuation plan at least twice a year to ensure everyone is familiar with the procedures.

What if someone is trapped inside?

If someone is trapped, they should stay low to avoid smoke, call 911 if possible, and signal for help from a window.

Can you help me create a checklist for the plan?

Sure! Your checklist can include: identifying exits, assigning roles, creating a communication plan, and scheduling practice drills.
