It is also a good idea to regularly train and improve you evacuation plan instead of developing it just once without any perspective of maintenance. Conducting emergency drills every once in a while can not only help you to obtain important survival skills but also truly brings your family together. Think about evacuation training as of a journey quest or quiz. It is only natural for kids to get excited and competitive about recharging fire extinguishers or rotating food and water in evacuation kits. Constant maintenance of your emergency accessory can quickly become an important part of your family life for many things such as testing smoke detectors or changing batteries in alarm system which are usually recommended to be done monthly.
Therefore, development and constant practice of an emergency evacuation plan leads to adequate emotional response to any extreme situation meaning to always be calm at all costs. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that sometimes panic causes more damage then even an accidents themselves.
