A Brief Introduction Welcome Your presenter Tonight we begin an important conversation.

Home Safety Night The basics Emergency situations/emergency plans Other things to consider At home alone

Let’s Start With the Basics Doors and locks Detectors Dangerous items First aid In the kitchen and other important information Operating a home security system

Detectors Smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors: are they functional? Check batteries whenever you adjust your clock for Daylight Saving Time.

Dangerous Items: Chemicals and Toxins Are household chemicals, medicines, and other toxic or dangerous materials safely out of reach of children? Find and use cabinets that are out of reach of children and consider using a lock.

First Aid Do you have a family first aid kit? Where is it? What’s in it?

Common Kitchen Hazards Be aware of common kitchen hazards. Hot stoves Gas stoves Spattering foods Microwaves Sharp knives and other kitchen tools Broken glass, broken dishes

Safe Kitchen Habits Clean hands, clean surfaces. Children should help in the kitchen, but come prepared.

9-1-1 and Other Important Information Do your children know this important information? Home address and phone number Caregivers’ cell phone numbers Where to access a phone How to dial 9-1-1

Proper Use of Emergency Information Do you have a list of important emergency numbers within easy reach for children? –Extended-family members –Trusted family friends –Trusted neighbors

Who Is Nearby to Help in an Emergency? Identify neighbors who can help. Talk to them about your safety plans. Make sure your children know where to go.

Home Safety System Do you have one? Do the children know how to use it properly?

Role-Play With Your Children What to Do in an Emergency Answering the phone Answering the door Helping when someone is hurt or sick Responding to fires and weather emergencies

Stay Calm. Use Your Head. Talk about emergencies. Discuss the importance of staying calm. Answer questions and talk about responding to the unexpected.

Important Reminder for the Kids Always tell your parents when you’re leaving the house. Even if you’re just going to play in the yard, tell a parent you’re going outside and be specific about where you’ll be.

At Home Alone When is a child old enough? There is no such thing as overcommunicating with working parents.

Kids Watching Kids Taking care of younger siblings

If They’re Staying Home Alone… Set rules. Stick to them. What about having friends over? Determine limits in the kitchen. How long can a child be home alone?

Wrapping Up Gather, communicate, talk it out. –Talking about safety is the important first step in creating a safe home. Take advantage of volunteers. –In this room and in the community, it’s easy to find answers. Stay calm and embrace common sense.
