Emergencies happen at any time and any place. That means that some crazy, unexpected thing (like a fire, flash flood, etc.) could happen while you’re in your home. This is the time of year when a fire can very likely occur (lights – lots of ‘em – everywhere) and as with anything else, it helps to be prepared.
What would you do if a catastrophe occurred?
What if you got separated from your spouse/children?
What about your pets?
Important papers?
Elderly parents?
Medications?
Photos?*
What if you only had 10 minutes to get out?
Check out this video and take the 10-minute evacuation challenge.
*These are just some of the questions to think about and I’m sure there’s a myriad more. So, talk with your family and then practice. Often. Figure out how you would evacuate from all of the entrances/exits to your home and did I mention that you should practice? It may take a bit of time to get a routine down pat, but if that emergency occurs, you’ll be glad you did.
