Exercise RegularlyExercise builds strength and improves your coordination and balanceAsk your doctor about the best physical exercise for you.Slide4

Wear sturdy, well-fitting shoesLow-heeled shoes with non-slip soles are the best. These are safer than high heels, thick-soled athletic shoes, slippers, or stocking feet.Slide5

If you smoke, smoke outsideUse deep, sturdy ashtrays. Wet cigarette butts and ashes before throwing them out.Never smoke in bed.

Never smoke if medical oxygen is used in the home.Slide6

Smoke alarms save livesHave smoke alarms installed outside each sleeping area, on every level of your home, and in each bedroom. Interconnected alarms are the best option. When one sounds they all sound. Have someone test your smoke alarms once a month by pushing the

test button. Slide7

Plan and practice your escape from fireIf possible, know two ways out of every room and two ways out of the home. Make sure windows and doors open easily.In a fire, get out and stay out.Slide8

See an eye specialist once a year. Slide11

Stop, Drop, & Roll. If your clothes catch on fire: Stop (don’t run), Drop gently to the ground, and cover your face with your hands. Roll over and over or

Stay in the kitchen when frying food Never leave cooking unattended. Wear tight-fitting clothing or short sleeves when cooking.

Use lightweight, easy-to-manage pans.

If a pan of food catches fire, slide a lid over it and turn off the burner.

Don’t cook if you are drowsy from alcohol or medication.Slide13

Know your local emergency numberIt may be 9-1-1 or the fire department’s phone number. Once you have escaped a fire, call the fire department from a neighbor’s phone or a mobile phone. Slide14

Give space heaters space Keep them at least three feet (1 meter) away from anything that can burn – including you. Shut off and unplug heaters when you leave your home or go to bed.Slide15

Use non-slip matsUse non-slip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors. Have grab bars installed on the wall in the tub and shower and next to the toilet. Slide16

Have an ICE Tag

Write your emergency contact numbers on the ICE tag so first responders know who to call if you cannot tell them.

Keep your ICE tag somewhere visible such as on a key chain or entered into your cell phone contact list.

ICE stands for “In Case of Emergency”Slide17
