Make & Practice a Family Emergency Plan Every family is unique. As you make your plan, be sure to consider everyone’s needs. Sit down together and decide how you will get in contact with each other, where you will go and what you will do in an emergency. Make sure everyone knows important phone numbers and that children know their parents’ full names. Keep a list of contacts by the phone and in your emergency kit. Be sure to have a charger for your mobile phone. Make sure you identify a safe room in your home to ride out a storm. Determine the best escape routes from your home and find two ways out of each room. Decide on a meeting place outside of your home, and one just outside of your neighborhood, in case you cannot return to your home. Pick a friend or family member both inside the city and one who lives out of the Irving area for your family to contact in case you become separated. Make a plan about what you will do if you need to evacuate with your pets. Keep a copy of your family emergency plan in your supply kit or another safe, waterproof place where you can access it in the event of a disaster.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME: CHANGE YOUR CLOCK, CHANGE YOUR BATTERY It is that time of the year again: advance clocks one hour and change your smoke alarm batteries. Daylight saving time begins at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 9, and clocks should be advanced one hour. The Irving Fire Department also encourages residents to replace smoke detector batteries. This practice ensures smoke detector batteries are operating effectively in the event of a fire, where every second counts.
