Smoke alarm system for People who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

Install smoke alarms in every bedroom. They should also be outside each
sleeping area and on every level of the home. For added safety, interconnect
all the smoke alarms. If one sounds, they all sound. This gives people more
time to escape.
Working smoke alarms
save lives. However,
people who are deaf or
hard of hearing may not
be able to depend on the
traditional smoke alarm
to alert them to a fire.
SAFETY TIPS 
⚫ Smoke alarms and alert devices are available for
people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
⚪Strobe lights flash when the smoke alarm sounds.
The lights warn people of a possible fire.
⚫When people who are deaf are asleep, a pillow or
bed shaker can wake them so they can escape. The
shaker is activated by the sound of a smoke alarm.
⚪When people who are hard of hearing are asleep,
a loud, mixed, low-pitched sound alert device can
wake them. They may find a pillow or bed shaker
helpful. These devices are triggered by the sound of
the smoke alarm.
⚫Research the products and select the ones that best
meet your needs.
