Emergency Planning - GE Simon XTi User Manual

Since an emergency is always unexpected, you should develop plans to help prepare

for a variety of emergencies. Periodically discuss and rehearse emergency plans to

include the following:

• Understand how to use your security system.

• Know the normal state of doors and windows: open, closed, or locked.

• Escape fast! (Do not stop to pack).

• Use a different escape route if closed doors feel hot to the touch.

• Crawl and hold your breath as much as possible to help reduce smoke inhalation

during your escape.

• Meet at a designated outdoor location.

• Emphasize that no one should return to the premises if there is a fire.

• Notify the fire department from a neighbor's phone.

• Emphasize that no one should enter the premises if they hear sirens in the house.

• If you arrive at the premises and hear sirens, do no enter. Call for emergency

assistance with your cell phone, or from a neighbor's phone.
