Be sure to:
π₯ Check and replace the batteries
π₯ Check the alarm expiration date
π₯ Remove dust from the alarm with an air compressor or vacuum
π₯ Create and practice your home fire escape plan with your household

Begin by creating a plan before disasters and emergencies occur. Your disaster/emergency preparedness plan should answer the following questions:
π¨ How will I receive emergency alerts and warnings? (hint: sign up for Pierce County ALERT)
π¨ What is my shelter plan?
π¨ What is my evacuation route? (Plan for evacuation from home, school, and work)
π¨ What is my family/household communication plan?
π¨Do I need to update my emergency preparedness kit?
Click here to start creating your plan today: https://www.ready.gov/plan-form
Do you know the evacuation levels in case a disaster strikes?
π’ Level 1: Be Ready β This is the first warning that there is danger in your area. Monitor the situation and familiarize yourself with your evacuation plans.
π‘ Level 2: Get Set β Danger is increasing in your area. Consider voluntarily leaving the area. Be ready to evacuate at a momentβs notice.
π΄ Level 3: Go β Danger is imminent, leave now! There is an immediate threat to your life and property.Every emergency is different. Some may progress through each evacuation level while others may immediately warrant a level 3 evacuation without any prior warning β this is why itβs extremely important to plan ahead and have an emergency action plan in place for your family.
