HOTEL AND MOTEL SAFETY

Vacations and business travel make hotels and motels our home away
from home. It is just as important to be prepared and know what you

would do in a hotel/motel emergency as it is in your own home.

Be safe When traveling!
• Choose a hotel/motel that is protected by both
smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system.
• When you check in, ask the front desk what the fire
alarm sounds like.
• When you enter your room, review the escape plan
posted in your room.
• Take the time to find the exits and count the
number of doors between your room and the exit.
Make sure the exits are unlocked. If they are locked,
report it to management right away.
• Keep your room key by your bed and take it with
you if there is a fire.
• If the alarm sounds, leave right away, closing
all doors behind you. Use the stairs — never use
elevators during a fire.
• If you must escape through smoke, get low and go
under the smoke to your exit.
