SECTION 2
OCCUPANT SAFETY
11
Camping
is a great way to enjoy the outdoors
with your family and friends. By following the
proper precautions and planning, you can
help insure a safe, enjoyable and trouble-free
trip. We encourage you to develop a family
safety plan in case of an emergency or
severe weather condition, and practice it with
your entire family, especially children.
•
Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to
serve as the "family contact." Make sure
everyone knows the name, address,
phone number and email of the contact
person.
•
Draw a floor plan of your RV and find two
ways to exit. There should be one way to
get out of your RV without opening the
door.
•
Conduct safety drills at least every six
months to make sure everyone, including
guests, knows what to do to escape
safely. Practice evacuating the RV
blindfolded; in a real fire situation, the
amount of smoke generated may make it
impossible to see.
•
Teach everyone what the RV safety alarm
signals mean and how to be prepared to
leave the RV by themselves if necessary.
Individuals with medical problems, or who
are hard of hearing, should consider
purchasing additional warning devices
that provide both audible and visual
signals.
•
Teach how to check doors and not to
open them if the doors are hot. Teach
everyone to stay low to try to avoid
breathing smoke, fumes or gases.
•
In case family members are separated
from one another, have a plan for getting
back together. Decide on a meeting place
a safe distance from your RV and make
sure everyone understands to wait there.
•
Make sure everyone knows where to go to
call the fire department or 911 from
outside the RV.
•
Pets may not be allowed into shelters for
health and space reasons. Prepare an
emergency plan for pets that includes at
least a 3-day supply of dry food and a
large container of water. The survival of a
beloved pet or valuable livestock will often
depend on the plans that its owner has
made in advance
.
To research more information on emergency
preparedness for you and your family, contact
your local fire department or government
officials. In the United States, also include:
•
American Red Cross (www.redcross.org)
•
National Fire Protection Association
(www.nfpa.org)
•
Firstgov.gov
(www.firstgov.gov)
•
Ready.gov
(www.ready.gov).
This RV is not a life support system. It can
stop without warning. Children, persons
with physical or mental limitations, and
pets could suffer personal injury or death.
A personal attendant, redundant power or
an alarm system must be used if RV
operation is critical.
Familiarize yourself with the following
weather terms:
Warning
- Indicates that a particular
weather hazard is either imminent or has
been reported. A warning indicates the
need to take action to protect life and
property. Move to a safe location
immediately. The type of hazard is
reflected in the type of warning (i.e.,
tornado warning, blizzard warning, etc.).
Watch
- Indicates a particular hazard is
possible and that conditions are more
favorable than usual for its occurrence. A
watch is a recommendation for planning,
preparation and increased awareness (i.e.,
to be alert for changing weather, listen for
further information and think about what to
do if the danger materializes).
