| 1075, I too appreciate your posts.
I expect my S will live in a high rise dorm. Other than taking fire drills seriously and avoiding the elevators in a fire, can you provide any tips for the safest way to vacate? I am thinking sadly of the people who died in the twin towers, who didn't always know the best/safest way to exit from where they were....
What should we advise our kids about it? My dad always travelled with a flashlight which he kept by his bed in hotel rooms, and we were taught to check the map to be sure we knew where exits were. I did once have to vacate a hotel when fire alarms went off, so it is not an academic exercise for me. Fortunately the fire was in a basement area, no one was hurt, and we had more than enough time to exit in an orderly way.
Thanks. |
