There are many companies on the internet that sell evacuation kits. This may be a great option for your family’s needs as well.

Family Preparation

The best way to handle any emergency is planning. This is why family preparation is so crucial to survival of a fire!

  1. Have a meeting spot ( This can be anywhere easily accessible to all members of your family )
  2. Have ALL family members phone numbers saved in your phone for easy communication.
  3. Take the time to teach young children the plan!
  4. Have a clear understanding of fire safety

Transportation

How will you and your family leave the scene of a fire? How will you escape the blaze? This is a crucial element of the planning process that so many forget. If you own a car it is recommended that you never go below a half a tank in case of emergencies. If you do not own a vehicle what are your options for public transport? Do not be one of those of people who thought of everything BUT transportation!
