How fast does a house fire move? Faster than most people expect. This short public safety announcement from UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute uses real test footage of a living room furnished the way many homes are today, with synthetic fabrics and foam cushions, and shows how quickly that room becomes deadly. Three things buy your family time: working smoke alarms, an escape plan everyone has practiced, and closed bedroom doors at night. Our free Two Minutes to Get Out family fire escape plan walks your household through building that plan.

Before and After Steps and Resources for Disasters.  

You must understand the steps to take before, during, and after a natural or man-made disaster strikes. As many of us are personally affected by such events, either directly or indirectly with family or friends, it’s important to be prepared before the disaster occurs to be able to recover just as soon as possible with the minimum of disruption to your lives. We are pleased to provide you with this Family Preparedness Guide that will assist you in preparing your family to respond to and recover from all types of emergencies. This guide will help you develop an emergency plan, prepare an emergency supply kit, and learn about emergency preparedness for families, pets, persons with disabilities, and the elderly.
