evacuation plan

Emergency exit blueprint

An evacuation plan is a predetermined procedure for safely exiting a building or area during an emergency—fire, natural disaster, active threat.

Such plans typically designate escape routes, assembly points, and responsibilities: Every employee should know the evacuation plan.

Schools and workplaces conduct drills to practice them.
