Are You Ready?

When the Lights Go Out

Shortened days and winter weather can lead to power outages that leave you in the dark. Do not rely on candles as a source of light as this creates a potentially serious fire hazard. Make sure you have a flashlight and batteries or chemical glow sticks at the ready if you need to the cut the darkness.

In Case Of

FIRE

Walk to the nearest exit; DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS.

IF YOU GET CAUGHT IN SMOKE:

  • Stay low, smoke will rise to ceiling level first.
  • Drop to hands and knees and crawl towards the nearest exit.
  • Hold your breath as much as possible; breathe through your nose and use a filter such as a shirt, towel or handkerchief.
