Household Safety Tips

Before an emergency occurs, practice getting your family out of the house safely:

• Plan what you’re going to do.
• Practice the drill in the daylight.
• Move slowly and carefully.
• Don’t turn lights on or off.
• Don’t light matches or cigarette lighters.
• Don’t use a flashlight or telephone (even a cell phone) because an electric arc might ignite the gas.
• Leave doors open to ventilate the house or apartment after you are out.
