Emergencies: More than Knowing 9-1-1 With severe weather being reported in the news, we are reminded how important it is to be prepared for emergency situations. Most of us don't realize how unprepared we are for emergencies until one occurs. Don't let that happen to you. Hadley's course, "Safety in the Home," provides essential information to protect you, your family and your home during unforeseen emergencies. "The best way to deal with emergencies is to be prepared for them beforehand," says instructor Ed Haines. "Never think an emergency won't happen to you. Advance preparation may save your life." This tuition-free course can be completed at your own pace and in the comfort of your home. ?Safety in the Home? is available in large print, in braille, on audiocassette and is online. The course is open to students in Hadley's Adult Continuing Education and High School Programs. Based on U.S. safety standards, the seven lessons explore how to prepare for emergencies. The course begins by outlining preliminary steps in emergency planning, then describes home safeguards and modifications. Fire preparedness is included, as is general disaster planning. Disasters, such as earthquakes and tornadoes, are specifically mentioned. Weather emergencies involving extreme heat and cold are also included. A resource list accompanies the course. Please note, this course does not provide instructions in first aid. So why not enroll so you can protect yourself, your family and your home?
