Make Your Evacuation Plan
About Your Plan
When you hear the siren, see an alert on your phone, or smell smoke coming through your housing unit, you need to know what to do! Make a plan now with your roommates or family members so that there is no hesitation or panic when disaster strikes. Have very clear rendezvous locations and make sure that every unit/family member knows what to do and where to go! Take into account pets and small children who may need help evacuating. Least of all, do not forget your emergency kit!
