Fire & Tornado Safety IF YOU DISCOVER SMOKE OR FIRE 1. Call the Front Desk immediately. 2. Feel the door. If it is hot, don’t open it. 3. If the door is not hot, place your foot against door and open it slightly. 4. Look and smell for smoke and fire. You may be able to exit the stairwell by crawling. There is always less smoke near the floor. 5. Leave your room; close your door. 6. If you are able, pull the nearest fire alarm box. 7. Use exit stairways or fire escapes. 8. Don’t panic; if you see no fire or smoke in the corridor, head to the nearest fire exit and proceed to ground level and out of the building. 9. If the halls are too smoky, stay in your room. A. Fill tub with water; however, never get into the tub. B. Stuff wet towels in all openings and around doors. Use wet tissue to insulate small openings. C. Wet down anything that is hot, such as doors and walls. D. Open glass doors only at intervals for fresh air. If smoke becomes dense, stick your head out the door or window. E. AWAIT HELP FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. TORNADO If you observe a tornado or hear the warning sirens for a tornado, take the following steps: 1. Find shelter immediately. Go to a place that’s on the lowest floor in the middle of the lodge, like an interior hall. 2. Avoid windows and doors. Move away from outside walls and stay clear of windows, doors and other glass. 3. Protect your head; try to take shelter under something strong, like a heavy table or a workbench. Use your arms and hands to protect your head. 4. Stay put until either the threat passes or you are advised that it is all clear. 5. If damage has occurred, remain away from these areas until authorized by lodge personnel. Keep away from exposed wires. 6. If you are caught in your room with no time to get out, go into the bathroom, close the door and sit on the floor or in the bathtub. Keep Your Guest Room Key With You - You will need your key in the event that you wish to re-enter your room during an emergency. Get in the habit of leaving your key in the same place, preferably on the nightstand.
