A.D.A.P.T  Emergency Preparedness Tips


In case of a fire, keep a portable fire kit near your bed. Include sneakers, portable oxygen (ie: Boost Oxygen), a headlamp with extra batteries, and a kit like the GoTime Gear Fire Escape Kit. Stay safe during a fire--as they spread quickly, especially in a town filled with beautiful overhanging trees.
