It all begins with a plan. Start by making and practicing your ESCAPE PLAN. 2 ways out of every room. Review and practice with visiting family and friends, especially grandchildren and sleepovers. Next, a working smoke alarm in EVERY SLEEPING AREA and on EVERY level of the home. Lastly, but most important, CLOSE BEFORE YOU DOZE! You have less than 3min to escape, a closed door buys precious minutes to escape out the window.

Safety Checklist for Homeowners & Renters

Central Georgia’s weather changes rapidly, and often the need to shelter in place can come on unexpectedly. Planning and practicing what to do can mean the difference between a panicked response and one that is manageable. First, get a weather radio. Second, have a safe room planned with a bottle of water, a flashlight, a pair of shoes, and ideally a helmet of any kind.

Fire is hot, sure, everyone knows that. But fire is also DARK and FAST. To keep you and your loved ones safe from burns, keep anyone and anything at least 3 feet from space heaters.

Keep little curious hands at least 3 feet from the stove as well as combustible towels or pot holders away from the stove. ALWAYS stay in the kitchen and keep watch when cooking.

NEVER use water to douse a grease fire. What HERE to see what happens.
