Evacuation
If your smoke alarm goes off do you know what to do? You should:
- Make an escape plan
- Discuss your escape plan with everyone in your home, especially children, the elderly and disabled
- Your best escape route is your normal way in and out of your home so keep it clear
- Think of difficulties you or others may have getting out, for example in the middle of the night
- Make sure everyone knows where to find door and window keys
- Consider a second escape route, in case the first is blocked
- Establish the safest and quickest ways to escape from each part of the house
- Review your plan regularly
- Check that everyone can unlock and open doors
- Remember to shut doors behind you
