 If you live on a higher floor and don't have access to a fire escape, purchase a rope ladder to use for exiting from windows or a balcony.

You must also be aware of hazards that can exist no matter where you live and take precautions to prevent them.. Criminals count on this anonymity. Remember that memories can fail during emergencies. Never open that door for strangers. . .

This is because you live so close to many other people. * Be sure that each person in your family knows how to dial 911. * Make certain your apartment number is clearly marked on your door. *

Never use an elevator during a fire. With so many units joined together, it doesn't  take long for fire to spread from one to another. * Install quality deadbolt locks on your door and place a wooden rod or steel brace on sliding doors. *

Make sure that if your building has a common entry, the entry door locks so that only tenants can enter. You must test them every month and replace the batteries every 6 months.
