Home Safety

Make sure your house is as safe as possible by following these few simple guidelines.

• Install smoke detectors on each level of your home and change batteries every 6 months.
• Clear hallways and exits for easy evacuation.
• Keep A-B-C type fire extinguishers. Make sure you know how and when to use them.
• Store flammable or highly reactive chemicals securely and separately from each other.
• Know how and when to switch off your utilities.
• Keep utility company emergency phone numbers in one place near the telephone.
• Install carbon monoxide detectors on each level of your home and change batteries every 6 months. The carbon monoxide detector should be placed so it will be easily heard in all sleeping areas and should be installed according to manufacturer’s instructions.
• Have a set place for storing your Emergency Supply Kit and a Go Bag.
