# Slides 4.2: Home Safety Hunt and Emergency Plans Slide outline for Lesson 4.2. Fourteen slides, one day. The six room slides are the review slides before the Home Safety and Conservation Quiz. [Sal: photos of real rooms with the hazards circled work better than drawings; stage them at home or use the FACS room.] ## Slide 1: Home Safety Hunt - Lesson 4.2 - Today: hazards by room, the two detectors every home needs, and a plan for the night something goes wrong - Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222 (this stays on the board all unit) Image: a two-story house at dusk with one window lit. ## Slide 2: Do now - Where is the smoke detector closest to where you sleep? - "I do not know" counts as an answer - When was it last tested? - Two minutes Notes: Hand vote on both. The "I do not know" count is your pre-assessment. Then the fact: about three in five home fire deaths are in homes with no working smoke alarm. [Sal: confirm the current NFPA number.] ## Slide 3: Kitchen - Pot handles turned out - A towel or paper near the burner - Knives in the sink - Cleaners and medicines where a child can reach Image: a kitchen with a pot handle sticking out over the edge, a towel on the oven door, and an open cabinet under the sink; each hazard circled. Notes: Students fill the kitchen row in Part 1. Remind them: this was Lesson 1.1, same eyes, new room. ## Slide 4: Bathroom - Wet tile floor, a mat with no rubber back - No grab bar in the tub - A hair dryer plugged in near water - Medicine in reach Image: a bathroom with a hair dryer on the sink edge, a bath mat, and an open medicine cabinet; each hazard circled. Notes: Introduce GFCI outlet in one sentence: the outlet with the two buttons, made to shut off near water. Not tested. ## Slide 5: Stairs - Anything on the steps - A loose rug at the top - No railing - Dark Image: a staircase with a shoe basket on the bottom step, no railing, and a rug at the top with a curled corner. Notes: Ask: who falls on stairs most? Answer: the youngest and the oldest. Both live in the house you get today. ## Slide 6: Bedroom - A space heater within three feet of the bed or a curtain - Cords under the rug - A candle - A window that does not open, or a crib under a window Image: a bedroom with a space heater a foot from a hanging blanket, and a cord running under a rug. Notes: Three feet is the rule for anything that heats. ## Slide 7: Garage and outside - Gasoline near a water heater or any flame - A car running with the garage door closed (carbon monoxide) - A ladder left standing - A pool with no fence or gate; ice on the steps Image: a garage with a red gas can beside a water heater, and a car inside with the door down. Notes: This slide sets up the CO detector on Slide 8 and the hazard nobody finds in the hunt. ## Slide 8: The two detectors - Smoke detector: every level of the home and every sleeping area; test monthly; new battery yearly; replace at ten years - Carbon monoxide (CO) detector: near the sleeping areas; CO has no smell and no color - A chirp once a minute means the battery is low. It is not a bug. Image: a round smoke detector and a plug-in CO detector, side by side, with the test buttons marked. Notes: Pass both detectors around. Press test once. Find the date on the back. ## Slide 9: Cords, outlets, poisons - One plug per outlet; a power strip is not a wall - No cords under rugs or through doorways - A space heater always plugs straight into the wall, alone - Poisons and medicines: up high and locked; Poison Control 1-800-222-1222 Image: a power strip with six plugs and a space heater cord in it, with a red X. ## Slide 10: The hunt - Teams of three - Read the Delacroix-Nwosu home: a mother, a toddler (age 2), a grandmother (age 74, uses a cane) - Highlight every hazard, then table it: room, type, one fix - Fifteen are hidden - Twelve minutes Notes: Answer no questions about whether something counts. Circulate with the clipboard checklist. ## Slide 11: A plan has three parts - Two ways out of every bedroom: a door and a window, or two doors - One meeting spot outside that everyone can reach; never the driveway, where the fire trucks park - Who to call: 911, Poison Control, one trusted adult outside the house Image: a simple floor plan with two arrows leaving each bedroom and a star at a mailbox. Notes: Ask before they start: how does the grandmother get down the stairs? Who carries the toddler? Both go in the plan. ## Slide 12: Make the plan - Fill Part 3 for the Delacroix-Nwosu family - Draw the exits on your floor plan sketch - One sentence: why your meeting spot works for a grandmother with a cane - Eight minutes Notes: Common weak answer: "the front yard." Push for a fixed object. ## Slide 13: Debrief - One reporter per team: the worst hazard for the toddler, and the worst for the grandmother - The ones nobody found - Two teams: where is your meeting spot and why Notes: Reveal the running car in the closed garage last. It is the reason CO detectors go inside the house, near the bedrooms. ## Slide 14: Exit card - 3 hazards from the home you found today - 2 parts of a family emergency plan - 1 thing in your own home you want to check tonight (no address, no names) Notes: Three students read line 3. Sort before the next period.
