You have turned the outside of your house into a fort. You have boarded up the windows and blocked the doors/windows from the inside. Now you need to make procedures.
You need to get everyone familiar with exit plans. Make sure that everyone knows what to do when zombies break in from one side of the house. You need to chart out how/where you would go if zombies took over your fort. Have a backup plan. Remember, you want to go somewhere close, safe, and familiar. Like Ed from Shawn of the Dead says: “If we hole up, I want to be somewhere Familiar, I wanna know where the exits are and I wanna be allowed to smoke”. Make sure that where you plan to go next is just as safe and reliable as your current place. Have everyone know how you will get there, so if your group splits up, you can try to regroup. Know that the zombies will follow you, so you need to have a route that could potentially loose them. Even try to find a midway point to hide out for a bit, so the zombies continue walking on past you. Only leave the house when you know there is absolutely no way you can fight them off anymore.
Take only weapons and a little bit of water. The zombies won’t care about food; you can come back for food the next day. Remember that you have two exits, so each exit will probably need a different route. The location can be the same, but how you get there will be different.
I can’t stress this enough when I say, “MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO/WHERE TO GO WHEN YOUR FORT BECOMES OVERRUN”. Don’t worry about leaving someone behind. Once the fort is taken, everyone get the hell out. Don’t be a hero and try to help everyone. There will be no need to be a hero for everyone, if everyone can be their own hero.
