Situational Awareness: Know your Surroundings

When you are away from home, it is important to know your surroundings and what to do in a fire situation.  BE - KNOW - DO

BE aware of your surroundings.

• Choose a vacation destination with both smoke alarms and fire sprinklers.
• Learn about the building's fire safety features.
• Make sure the exits are not locked or blocked.

KNOW how to exit in case of a fire.

• Find the building's evacuation plan.
• Locate the fire alarms on your floor.
• Keep your room key nearby at all times.

DO practice getting out of the building.

• Practice multiple escape routes in case one is blocked and remove any obstacles.
• Count the number of doors between your room and the exit. (This will help in the dark.)
