FIRE EMERGENCY

AND EVACUATION
PLAN
WHAT IS A FIRE DRILL?
A fire drill is a process of practicing how an
establishment/building would be evacuated in the event of a
fire or other emergencies. The purpose of fire drills in
buildings is to ensure that everyone knows how to exit at the
fastest and safest way.
THE CONDUCT OF FIRE DRILLS
IN SCHOOL
1. Alarm – Fire alarms are signaled.
2. Response – Students will have to be alert for fire, and smoke.
3. Evacuation – All school personnel and students evacuate,
following pre-determined ways to the evacuation areas.
4. Assembly – At the designated evacuation area, students are
grouped accordingly.
5. Head Count- When drill participants reached the
designated evacuation area, teachers-in-charge must check
the attendance of the class to make sure that everyone is
counted in.
6. Evaluation – Evaluation of the drill is conducted to
identify problems during the drill and how to correct these
problems.
Emergency evacuation plans are crucial for efficient and safe
evacuation, involving benchmarks based on regulations,
simulations, and best practices. Proper planning utilizes
multiple exits, contra-flow lanes, and special technologies for
swift evacuation, considering individual needs. Building fire
and emergency plans, guided by regulations like building
codes, aim to minimize panic and facilitate self-evacuation. A
comprehensive "all-hazards approach" allows plan reuse for
various emergencies. Prevention is key, and emergency
managers must identify and anticipate risks to mitigate
potential losses for businesses.
HOW TO CREATE A FIRE
EVACUATION PLAN FOR
YOUR HOUSEHOLD
Plan for everyone - In planning a fire evacuation plan,
one must consider the special needs of all persons
concerned. Adults must assign someone to help the
young children and the elderly.
Find two ways out - Make sure that your house has two
ways out. Household elders must ensure that all passages
in going in and out of the house are free from
obstructions. These passages must be known to all
household members.
Involve children in planning - Draw a map of the home
and mark the entrance and exit routes. The drawn family
escape plan must be explained well to the children.
Children must be taught of the family’s meeting place
outside of the house during fire emergency.

Have a backup plan - There must be back up plan for


the installed fire evacuation plan of the family. It must be
explained that in cases where family members are
trapped in the house
Share with everyone - Explain your fire evacuation
plan to all family members. It must also be known to
your guests or visitors especially those who will stay
overnight in your house.

Practice regularly - Conduct regular family fire drills


and review your fire evacuation plan as the need
arises.
