E.D.I.T.H.


Each day we drive by a sign on the way to work that says E.D.I.T.H. on it.  As we pass by it, it was hard to see what E.D.I.T.H. stood for.  So I did a little research and learned that E.D.I.T.H. stands for this, Exit Drills In The Home.  Having an E.D.I.T.H. plan can help people prepare for an emergency.  Most home fires occur at night, when people are the least prepared.   Which only makes sense, since most of us are sleeping or at least should be!  Check out this fact sheet and learn how you can have E.D.I.T.H. at your home.

We don't have a written plan, but we have had fire drills with the kids for FHE recently. Thanks for the info!

we have been practicing with the kiddos, having them practice opening the windows, order of operation, which kids do what and where to meet. It is great, but every time we talk about it mique freaks out and cries. I scares her to death.
