For years students in schools have been practicing evacuation drills
and fire drills. They have been very successful getting students and
teachers out of their buildings quickly and safely. At home, it is
important to practice evacuation drills and make sure everyone in our
house knows how to evacuate and where to meet once outside.
Key home safety rules are:
- Know two ways out of your home and every room in the house
- Have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
- Discuss a meeting place outside of the house where everyone knows where
to meet – maybe a tree – light pole or mailbox in front of the house
- Call 9-1-1 once outside of the house
