CREATING YOUR HOME EVACUATION PLAN

Getting Out Fast and Staying Calm

Time Required: 2-3 hours to create + 15 min per drill

Cost: $0-50 (escape ladder if needed)

This guide helps you create a comprehensive evacuation plan for your home that covers not just fires, but any situation requiring rapid exit: earthquakes, gas leaks, carbon monoxide, severe weather, or any threat that makes staying inside dangerous.

More importantly, it shows you how to practice this plan with your family in ways that build confidence without creating fear, especially for children. An evacuation plan isn't just about survival. It's about your family knowing they can handle emergencies together. 

Print out the Home Evacuation Plan Checklist and mark it up as you move through each module to see which gaps might exist.
