Escape Plan - Conrad Electronic Rm 50 Bedienungsanleitung

9. Escape plan

As over-cautious as this may appear at first: Draw up an escape plan for each
room of your house or flat.
This should include the following:
• Quickest and safest way into the open
• The places where key are kept to, for example, be able to open locked
basement doors, terrace doors, windows etc. in case of emergency
• The places where fire extinguishers or rescue covers are kept
• The emergency numbers for the fire brigade and emergency doctor
• The telephone numbers for other house inhabitants, the caretaker etc. to
be able to alarm them also
Do not lose any time in case of fire in looking for important
documents, papers or IDs which could be destroyed in a fire
perhaps. You could lose the few seconds or minutes through this
which could save the lives of persons.
Simply make copies of important documents (e.g. personal ID,
driver's license etc.). Conventional copiers are suitable for this
and also digital cameras or scanners. Store the copies, for
example, in a bank safe.
Consider for each room:
• Where are there possible sources of fire, e.g. electrical devices?
• How can you avoid risks?
• Is the escape route cut off? How to get away nevertheless?
• How can I get to the key required?
• How far is the next fire extinguisher?
