Be Ready in a Heated Situation
Fires can occur suddenly and spread quickly. You may have less than three minutes to get to safety, so it is important to be prepared. Make sure to install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and check the batteries twice a year. In the event of a fire in your home or apartment building, evacuate right away, closing (but not locking) all doors behind you. As heat and smoke rise, stay as close to the floor as possible when exiting. Learn more about fire safety Read OEM's Tip of the Week online
This blog and its author are in no (formal) way connected with the New York City Office of Emergency Management. The content has been pasted from the OEM "Tip of the Week" that can be subscribed to via the page http://www.nyc.gov/oemnews.
(This blog was created as an easy way for me to generate an RSS feed with the history of the tips, since I didn't see that anywhere on NYC.gov.)
September 2009 to June 2012, then occasionally: Also included FEMA "Tip of the Week" messages as they came through. I am not connected to FEMA or DHS in any way, either.
