Home safety is important and can also be easy by taking a few simple steps. I'm a big fan of keeping things simple and these are just that.
Prepare For Emergencies:
- Keep a telephone handy in your bedroom and your kitchen or living room.
- Create a list of emergency phone numbers you can keep near your phones, including 911 and the poison control hotline (1-800-222-1222).
- Keep a disaster plan for you and your family. The list should include emergency contacts and designate a meeting place outside your neighborhood so family members can meet up in the event of a disaster.
- Have a well-stocked first-aid kit in your home.
Following these few simple steps to prepare for emergencies allow you to plan for the worst while hoping for the best. Your family will thank you for that.
