4 FAMILY SAFETY DRILLS

Let’s be blunt:
If your family doesn’t know what to do when it happens...
You’ve already lost.

We’re not here to scare you.
We’re here to wake you up.

Whether it’s a home invasion, a fire in the night, or an all-out societal breakdown, when chaos hits, there’s no time for a group chat.
There’s only action or regret.

At Relaxxd Fit Tactical, we believe every American household should be tight like a fire team, not loose like a sitcom family. That’s why we’ve built this short but powerful blog around 4 tactical drills every family needs to master—before it’s too late.

Burglar breaking into a home.

🔐 1. Home Invasion Drill

What happens when someone kicks your door in at 3 AM?
That’s not the time to “figure it out.” You need rehearsed steps. Quick, calm movements. Everyone knows where to go, who’s got eyes on what, and when to call for help.

Your home is your castle—act like it.

✅ Practice:

  • Moving to the safe room

  • Locking down all access points

  • One person on the call, one on defense

  • Code word to initiate lockdown

  • Bonus: Add a sound cue like knocking in a pattern

🔥 2. Fire Escape Drill

You have 90 seconds.
That's it before smoke fills the halls and disorients your loved ones.

If your family hasn’t crawled that route before, they’ll freeze.

✅ Practice:

  • Crawling low to avoid smoke

  • Opening windows for alternate exits

  • Assembling at a rally point

  • Teaching kids never to go back for toys or pets

🧯Post a copy of your home layout with all exits marked on the fridge.

🏃♂️ 3. Escape & Evasion Drill

SHTF. You can’t stay. You have to GO.
What’s the plan? If you're all scattered, is there a meet-up point? How do you move through neighborhoods safely with a child, a senior, or your dog in tow?

✅ Practice:

  • Grab-and-go bag drill (everyone has one)

  • Walking the bugout route

  • Practicing movement discipline (quiet, concealed, covered)

  • Using markers (chalk, color, symbols) to show others your route safely

👟 Bonus: Do this with backpacks on. Feel the fatigue. It matters.

🎯 4. Active Threat Drill

Whether it’s at a mall, a gas station, or your own driveway—you hear gunfire.
Your brain needs a file already loaded. Otherwise, it stalls.

✅ Practice:

  • Identifying exits immediately upon entering new places

  • Finding concealment vs cover

  • Moving in a zigzag while yelling to break the OODA loop of an attacker

  • Teaching kids a simple “run-hide-fight” version that won’t traumatize them

🧠 Training helps replace panic with purpose.
