Create a Family Escape Plan. This is one of the major parts of the assignment. You need to draw a basic floor plan of your home showing:

1. • All rooms labeled
   • Doors
   • Windows
   • 2 possible escape routes from every room
   • An outdoor meeting place where everyone will meet after evacuating
   For example, your meeting place could be a particular tree, mailbox, or other safe location away from the house.

If you live upstairs or in a multi-story home/apartment, you also need to explain how you would escape from an upper floor if you couldn't use the stairs.
