Emergency Exits
Check your emergency exits (home, work, wherever you go on errands). Your emergency exits should be:
- known to all - consider options in case the obvious exits are inaccessible (can you use a window if fire blocks a doorway?)
- accessible – not blocked by furniture, stored items or mess
- able to accommodate wheelchair users, baby strollers and other mobility devices
- tested for usability
- Whenever possible, try to have multiple exits - keep your escape options open!
