Fire evacuation plans for apartment blocks, flats and HMOs
Residents need to know the way out from their own front door, which stairs to use, and whether your building's policy is to stay put or leave. EvacPlan prints the right instructions on every map.
Upload a floor plan, photo or sketch. The AI makes a map for every room.
What to put on each map
- "You are here" with the flat number or landing
- Stairs, and "do not use the lift in a fire"
- Your evacuation policy: stay put, or everyone leaves
- Fire alarm call points, extinguishers and refuge areas
- The address and the assembly point
How many do you need?
One by each flat's front door (inside), plus each landing, lift lobby and the main entrance.
Tips
- Choose "Residents stay put" or "Everyone leaves" in Get my plan, and the instructions on every map change to match.
- Mount maps inside each flat's front door and on every landing.

Questions
What does "stay put" mean?
If the fire isn't in your flat, you're usually safer staying inside with doors and windows closed unless heat or smoke reaches you. If the fire is in your flat, get out and close the door.
Can we order signs for every flat?
Yes. Order glow-in-the-dark or acrylic signs in bulk, with multi-buy discounts.
