Hotel & Motel Safety

1/3/2018 (Permalink)

Vacations and business travel make hotels and motels our home away from home. It is just as important to be prepared and know what you would do in a hotel/motel emergency as it is in your own home.

Be Safe When Traveling!

• Choose a hotel/motel that is protected by both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system.
• When you check in, ask the front desk what the fire alarm sounds like.
• When you enter your room, review the escape plan posted in your room.
• Take the time to find the exits and count the number of doors between your room and the exit.
• Keep your room key by your bed and take it with you if there is a fire. 
• If the alarm sounds, leave right away, closing all doors behind you. Use the stairs-never use elevators during a fire.
• If you must escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke to your exit.
