Make Your Home Safer—One Simple Step at a Time
No email address. No registration. Just download the resources and put them to work.
Your home should be a place where you and your family feel safe and secure. But everyday hazards can easily go unnoticed until an emergency brings them to our attention.
These free resources from Emergency Action Planning will help you take a closer look at your home, identify potential hazards, and involve your entire family in making your home safer.
House Hazard Hunt Checklist
How safe is your home—really?
Use the House Hazard Hunt Checklist to walk through your home and identify everyday hazards that could cause an injury, contribute to a fire, or make it more difficult to respond during an emergency.
Look at your home with fresh eyes. Find the hazards you’ve stopped noticing, and correct them before they’re tested.

A Home Safety Activity for Children and Families
Help children become active participants in home fire safety with My Fire Inspection Checklist, a family-friendly resource from the National Fire Protection Association featuring Sparky the Fire Dog®.
Children and a grown-up can inspect their home together for electrical, cooking, heating, smoke-alarm and escape-route hazards.
This resource is provided by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Emergency Action Planning did not create or modify this checklist.
Your 10-Minute Home Safety Challenge
You don’t have to prepare your entire home today.
Start with three simple actions:
1. Test one smoke alarm.
Make sure it works and everyone recognizes the sound.
2. Identify two ways out.
Know how you’ll escape if your normal exit isn’t available.
3. Find one household hazard and correct it.
One small action today can prevent a much larger problem tomorrow.
Preparedness Is Leadership
Preparedness isn’t about living in fear of what might happen. It’s about making decisions now so you and the people who depend on you are better prepared when something does.
Prepare. Protect. Lead.
