EMERGENCY PROCEDURES¶

REMEMBER TO STAY CALM AND DO NOT PANIC¶
FIRE¶
Call the Fire Department or 911 as soon as possible. Tell them the exact location and nature of the fire.¶
Ask all guests to leave their rooms.¶
Never use the elevator. It could stop between floors.¶
When you exit the building during a fire, close all doors as you exit to confine the fire.¶
Make sure that everyone leaves with you.¶
Heat, smoke and gases emitted by burning materials can quickly choke you. If you are caught in heavy smoke, get down on the floor and crawl. Take short breaths, breathing through your nose.¶
If your clothes catch fire, don’t run. Stop where you are, drop to the ground, cover your face with your hands to protect your face and lungs and roll over to smother the flames.¶
Do not overestimate your ability to put out a fire. Most fires cannot be easily or safely extinguished. Do not attempt to put the fire out once it begins to quickly spread.¶
HURRICANE SEASON¶
The season generally runs from June through November with the peak period being in August and September.¶
During this time, it is necessary to monitor all weather systems on a daily basis, either via the television, internet or radio. Guests must be advised of the situation.¶
All outdoor furniture and loose items must be stored inside. Potted plants are moved into areas with the least wind or placed indoors.¶
