Handrails are sturdy and securely fastened. Doorways are well lighted. Hedges, trees, or shrubs do not obscure the view of the street or from the driveway. Garage doors are easy to operate, even when there is snow piled against them. Garage is adequately ventilated.
Large trees are healthy and maintained and have no dead limbs.
Garden and lawn equipment is stored safely. Toxic materials such as pesticides and fertilizer are kept in their own containers, not in unlabeled jars or bottles. The Red Cross wants you to follow these tips to ensure that your home is a safer place for you and your family. For additional information contact the Birmingham Area Chapter at 205.458.8282.
