High Rise Safety

[kmagin]

I am looking for information about highrise fire safety. My goal is to create a lesson plan designed for 4rth grade students (9-11years old).

I have no desire to re-invent the wheel and am wondering if anyone happens to have a program already designed for elementary school aged children that they would be willing and/or interested in sharing.

Thank you.

High Rise Safety

Hello!

We have various high rise safety tips and assist with evacuation planning and practice. It can be geared toward that age group. What I generally do re high rise safety with this age group is apply all the concepts we utilize otherwise: Plan and Practice Two ways out, test your smoke alarms, etc. Of course, we adapt it to the high rise environment.

But, basically, it is the same.

Here are some links that I hope might provide some help:
