Shared Home Emergency Evacuation Plan Template

Why Every Shared Home Needs a Plan

When the fire alarm goes off at 3 AM, you don't want to be figuring out exits and meeting points. A plan saves time, reduces panic, and keeps everyone safe.

Key Components

This template covers: exit routes from every room, a designated meeting point, emergency contacts for each roommate, location of fire extinguishers and first aid kits, and a communication chain.

Assigning Roles

In an emergency, clear roles help. One person checks bedrooms, another grabs the emergency bag, a third calls emergency services. Assign roles based on who lives where and what they're comfortable with.

Practice Makes Perfect

Run through your evacuation plan once when everyone moves in and review it every six months. It takes 10 minutes and could save a life.

Keep It Accessible

Print the plan and stick it on the fridge or inside a cupboard door. Also save a digital copy in your shared HomeCo space.
