Fire

Protecting you and your Family

Watches / warnings:

Install smoke detectors and familiarize your family with the sound of the alarm.
Plan an escape route from your home. If possible, every room should have two escape routes.
Remember that smoke and heat rise. When you encounter smoke, crawl on the floor where the air is cleaner.

Evacuation:

Plan an evacuation route.
Develop a plan for you and your family to communicate if you are separated when a flood comes.

Protecting your Property

Take an inventory of your possessions. Pictures or videotape recording may also be helpful for insurance purposes. Make sure to store the inventory and the pictures/videotapes off the premises, to help facilitate the claim filing process if your belongings are damaged. Property Checklist
Make sure your roof is constructed with fire resistant materials.
Mark the entrance to your property clearly so that firefighters can easily locate your home.
Keep a fire extinguisher in your home.
Landscape your yard with fire-resistant plants. Check with your local fire department or landscapers to determine which plants are safe. Clear all other vegetation up to at least 30 yards from your home.

If a disaster occurs in your community, local government and disaster relief organizations will try to help you. But you need to be ready as well. Although we cannot prevent disasters, we can reduce the risk of injury and even death by becoming informed.
