Practice STOP, DROP, ROLL should your clothes catch on fire. Call 9-1-1. Download the @Zello app if you can (walkie-talkie, great for emergencies). Think of places in your neighborhood where there is a body of water (lake, pool, pond, river--wide creek as last resort) to flee to.
Download maps onto your phone in advance (cell service often goes OUT in a fire)
