People living in apartments learn techniques for safe evacuation, such as counting
doors to the exits. They are also reminded to avoid the use of elevators for fire
evacuation.- Some apartment building managers provide a means for disabled and elderly individuals to evacuate. This could include the use of stair chairs or other evacuation devices. People are told to learn to use any evacuation device that is provided.
- People living in single family homes are encouraged to leave their residence during an evacuation. Apartment residents are told to find out where they may be asked to go. For example, an adjoining parking garage could provide safe haven for residents evacuating a high-rise apartment building.
