Importance of Escape Routes

Draw a floor plan of your home with your family. Use a blank sheet of paper for each floor level in your home. Mark two escape routes from each room and make sure that your children understand the drawing.

You may want to post a copy of the drawing at eye level in each child's room as well as on the fridge and possibly in the mud room.
