  • Do’s
  • Establish a “meeting area” outside the hotel with your group in case of an emergency.
  • Check into a hotel or enter a meeting room, locate and count the doors between your room and the closest exit. • Put your room key in the same place whenever you return to your room.
  • Check windows and vents in your room to see how they work.
  • If there’s a fire, feel the door with the palm of your hand before opening it.
  • Head for the nearest exit if the hall is passable. • Stay close to the floor if the smoke is heavy. • Remain in your room if the exit path is blocked. • Bail water on hot doors and walls.
  • Find the switch on your air conditioner and learn to shut it off in the event of a fire.
  • Stuff wet towels and sheets in cracks around doors. • Tie a wet towel around your nose and mouth.

  • Don’t open your door if it’s very hot.
  • Don’t break a window if you can open it instead. • Don’t leave your door open as you exit.
