The safety of residents and guests in 250 Ohua should be the concern of each of us.

It is strongly recommended that residents formulate an evacuation plan of their own. Outlined below is some basic information which may be helpful in developing fire and emergency evacuation plans.

Page 6: TABLE OF CONTENTS250ohua.lightsail.ahmeni.org/wp-content/uploads/...The Association reserves the right to access apartments in accordance with Hawaii Revised Statutes 514A-82(b)(6)

1. Study the floor plan of the corridor to locate stairwell exits, alarm pull boxes and fire hose cabinets. Know how to activate the alarm system by using the alarm pull boxes.

2. Develop an emergency evacuation plan based on unique family circumstances.

Educate household members and post a copy the evacuation plan in a conspicuous location. Conduct regular evacuation practice sessions. Impaired or residents needing assistance should inform the Resident Manager.

3. If you discover a fire in your apartment, stay calm and do not panic. Try to get

out and close the door. Once out of the apartment, activate the building’s fire alarm by pulling down on the lever at the fire alarm box. Do not use the elevators. Proceed calmly down the stairwell and exit at the ground level. After exiting the building, call 911 to report the fire to the Fire Department. Do not assume that someone else has already called the Fire Department.

4. If the fire is not in your apartment, leave the apartment only if you feel it is safe to

do so. First, feel the door. If the door is cool, use extreme caution and open the door slowly to check for signs of smoke or fire. If possible, activate the fire alarm if it is not already activated. Do not use the elevators. Proceed calmly down the stairwell and exit at the ground level. After exiting the building, call 911 to report the fire to the Fire Department. Do not assume that someone else has already called the Fire Department.

5. If the door to your apartment is hot, do not open the door. Call the Fire

Department and notify the dispatcher of your situation. Seal the door cracks with wet towels. Shut off fans and the air conditioner. Go to the window or lanai and signal for help.

6. If you find yourself in a smoke-filled room or hallway, crawl as low to the floor

as possible. Cleaner air will always be best the lowest point.

7. Always keep your apartment keys with you so you can re-enter your apartment if dangerous conditions force you to do so.
