"Have an Exit Strategy Where You Live, Work, and Play" initiative urges Texans to learn two ways out of any room they're in, whether that room happens to be their own kitchen, a board room at work, a movie theater, or any other locale. 

The impetus for this statewide initiative came after studying the February 20, 2003, fire at The Station nightclub in W. Warwick, Rhode Island, where 100 patrons lost their lives, and our own 2004 random inspection of bars, nightclubs, lounges and dancehalls in eight Texas counties. Of the 189 establishments we inspected, 182 had means of exit violations. 

Have an Exit Strategy is a concentrated effort to educate Texans and Texas business owners about simple fire safety rules and to ensure that all properties have clearly marked and freely accessible exits.
