๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ  FIRE SAFETY STARTS AT HOME ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ”ฅ

This summer, when children are home from school and families are spending more time together, take a few moments to make fire safety a priority.

โœ… Test your smoke alarms monthly

โœ… Keep a fire extinguisher accessible

โœ… Create and practice a family escape plan

โœ… Check your home for potential fire hazards

โœ… Teach children what to do in case of a fire

A simple plan can save lives. Make sure every member of your family knows two ways out of each room and has a designated meeting place outside.

๐Ÿš’ Be Prepared. Be Safe. Save Lives.

๐ŸŒ€ Hurricane Season is Here! ๐ŸŒ€

Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through November 30. The best time to prepare is before a storm is on the way.

Southwest Florida Public Service Academy encourages everyone to take time now to review emergency plans, build supply kits, secure important documents, and discuss evacuation routes with family and loved ones. Waiting until the last minute can lead to shortages, long lines, and unnecessary stress.

โœ… Have a family communication plan.

โœ… Stock essential supplies.

โœ… Know your evacuation zone.

โœ… Stay informed through trusted weather sources.

โœ… Check on elderly neighbors and those with special needs.

Preparedness saves lives. Together, we can build a safer and stronger community.

Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay safe.
