Determine the emergency exit route from each room within your house. It is critical to ensure that there is at least one free exit way from each and every room. If you are unable to find a safe exit strategy from an upper level room, a portable rope ladder is a good purchase to make. It is portable and easily rolls up to become a manageable storage item.

Finally, once an exit route is found for each room, make sure that all the family is aware of these routes and how to use the required exit equipment such as the ladders mentioned above.
