Suggested Family Activity 🦺 Home Safety Inspection
Fall is also a great time to perform a Safety Inspection on your home. Test your fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors and replace the batteries. Make sure young children have their first and last names, address, and an adult’s phone number memorized in case of emergency and that they know how to operate a phone to dial 911. Have young children memorize Stop, Drop and Roll if they should get fire on their clothing and practice it occasionally to help them keep it fresh in their minds.
Sit down and discuss what to do if there is a fire, natural gas or carbon monoxide emergency. Where will you meet outside? Who will make sure everyone is present? Who grabs your family’s pets? All these questions should be decided before the unthinkable happens.
