You plan for vacation, family holidays and even retirement. However, have you planed what you will do in the event of an emergency?
Know two ways out!
In an emergency you never know what you will face. Make sure that you and your family know at least two ways out of the house and that you have a meeting place picked out ahead of time so everyone knows where to gather.
Clear Your Escape Routes
Items that block doors and windows in your home could keep you from escaping in the event of a home fire. And that could mean the difference between life and death. So unblock your exits today! Key to your family’s safety is planning and practicing a home fire escape plan twice a year. Start by identifying two escape routes out of each room, if possible, then make sure that each of those escape routes can be used safely by everyone.
Check Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Test your alarms often to ensure they are working as needed and if needed replace batteries. Some of the newer detectors such as the Nest Products will self test monthly and send you a report to your phone.
