Fire evacuation plans are very necessary for any of the multi-story buildings and houses. And these plans work when there is any condition of emergency that occurs due to some human problem or due to some natural hazards. Such as storms and hurricanes that are common in most Western countries. In this article, many road and industrial accidents are responsible for the toxic gas release and fire near the accident places. In this type of hazardous situation, it is very important to have any evacuation plans.
Also, when there is a time of these hazardous situations, there is no evacuation plan. And you think that the evacuation plan can be planned while the particular situation is the biggest mistake that you think. Because time is the important thing when such a type of situation is there. You need to plan how to assemble family or employees (and others) and anticipate where you will go in different situations.

Some Steps to Improve Your Organization
Make Various Fake Scenarios
Whether you are planning to make an evacuation plan for homes or businesses, you need to look for each scenario during the emergency. You need to brainstorm how and where the fire can start, such as having the kitchen in businesses. Even the refrigerators and heaters are enough to make a big fire. You can know all the threats from which the fire can be created. But the biggest threat is the kitchen; although others are present, it is observed that the kitchen is the main root cause of the fire hazards. Also, you can plan if x situation is happening, so what should your priority be to escape or slow down the fire.
Establish Responsibility And Roles
When the fire emerges and at that time, who will lead everyone who has sufficient skills. Or also, at the time of kayos, if everyone did not know their particular roles, everything just messed up. You need to give different responsibilities’ to the different members so that everyone is well informed about their duty. Here are some of the responsibilities you can give to the employees.
· Route Guides
Route guides have the main responsibility to guide the other members from which route they can safely escape. Also, it is their responsibility to determine whether the route is clear or not.
· Floor Monitors
Assign floor monitors who are brave and helpful as they have to make sure that area is clear or not. Also, a particular area is given to them to look for that their floors are, or area is clear or not at the time of the fire. And then report to the chief fire wardens, who need to supervise everyone’s role.
· Chief Fire Warden
The chief fire warden has all the responsibilities and needs to supervise every person’s role. Choose your chief wisely, as we can say the warden is the plan’s leader. Responsibilities include ensuring that the door has been closed and performing the headcount at a safe location to see that all employees are safe.
· Assistant Fire Warden
 The assistant is the one who uses the mass alert system for alerting all the employees. Who calls the fire department and also collects reports. And if your company has an emergency communication system, then this person has all authority over that system.
· Fire Extinguishers
These people fight with the fire, and many of them are brave personalities. Their main aim is to encounter the fire so that everyone can escape. Or we can take hold of the fire with the help of portable fire extinguishers.
Now your team is assigned, but you need to look for those personalities. Who take their responsibility seriously and make sure that they perfectly do their role. You may find that this role distribution may be very helpful in the emergency as everyone has their role to what to do.
Look For The Escape Root
In a fire evacuation plan, you need to look the best and the nearest exits. Which means selecting the exacts for the different areas. Mark the signs of the fire exits location so that everyone can easily get to know about the fire exits. Also, some exits are there present for persons who have disabilities so that they also can easily escape while the emergency. And also, the maps you were made for the buildings are identifying exits are shown on the map.
