emergency egress
Crisis departure path
Emergency egress is an exit route designed for rapid evacuation during fires, disasters, or other urgent situations.
Building codes require emergency egress in homes and public buildings—typically doors, windows, or stairways that allow escape when normal exits are blocked.
The inspector noted that the basement bedroom lacked proper emergency egress.
