In an apartment building, the location of smoke alarms should be included while designing the evacuation plan. Instead of creating an evacuation plan from scratch, use EdrawMax, as it has hundreds of symbols and predefined templates that let you create the emergency evacuation plan without any worry. For optimum smoke detection, smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom, living area, and hallway in the house. As the below evacuation plan suggests, smoke detectors should be installed on every level of your home to detect rising smoke from a fire. These smoke alarms should be placed inside or directly outside of each bedroom and common areas and in the laundry room and kitchen where fires can originate.
