Help ensure that critical safety information about smoke and CO alarms reaches deaf and hard of hearing members of your community with the Hard of Hearing Tip Sheet from NFPA.
Working smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms save lives. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may not be able to depend on typical alarms to let them know there is danger. However, there are special alarms and devices to ensure everyone can be alerted in case of fire or high CO levels.
Hand them out at:
- Fire safety education events
- Visits to community centers and healthcare facilities
- Retail shopping malls and civic buildings
- Sporting events and other public gatherings
- Libraries and older adult centers
