Replace old batteries with fresh, high quality batteries to keep your smoke alarm ready to protect you. After inserting fresh batteries in your smoke alarm, make sure the alarm is working by activating the test button. We recommend that you test all of your smoke alarms monthly. To help keep your smoke alarm in good working condition, we recommend that you gently vacuum or spray with air once a month to remove dust and cobwebs.

Test Your Alarm for Life!

Your smoke alarm has the power to save your life. Or does it? If you haven't tested your smoke alarm lately, it may not be working. And that's a risk you can't afford to take. Working smoke alarms give us early warning of a fire, providing extra time to escape safely. But they can't do their job if we haven't done ours - monthly testing to make sure they're working. Test all the smoke alarms in your home.

You are required to contact the Fort Knox HSO prior to entering into any lease agreement. Before you sign any lease, perform a joint inspection of the property with the landlord and annotate existing conditions. Thoroughly read the lease and understand the stated terms. If you do not understand what is in the lease, don't sign it. Make sure there is a military clause in the lease. Example military clause addendums are available at HSO.

We encourage everyone who lives, works or visits Fort Knox to please go to the READY ARMY WEBSITE http://www.acsim.army.mil/readyarmy/ or http://www.ready.gov/ to learn more about disaster preparedness and "BE INFORMED, MAKE A PLAN, BUILD A KIT and GET INVOLVED".



* BE INFORMED: Consider emergency situations that occur in our geographic area. Identify the challenges, limitations, and specific needs of each of your family members.



* MAKE A PLAN: Plan for emergency situations early.



* BUILD A KIT: Prepare for ALL-HAZARDS emergencies by assembling at least one emergency kit for your home with enough supplies to last 72-hours.



* GET INVOLVED: Installation and community leaders should identify volunteers prior to a disaster or emergency and provide training for their potential role when practical.



During the month of September you should conduct your drills such as FACILITY EVACUATION and SHELTER-IN-PLACE when possible. Practice individual and workplace preparedness plans to reinforce WHERE TO GO, WHAT TO DO, AND WHAT TO TAKE in the event of an emergency.



Rehearse school preparedness. Incorporate an emergency drill during a day of class. Post school emergency procedures electronically and encourage parents to review the material with their children.



Fort Knox Installation Protection Branch will discuss disaster preparedness on the 11th and 25th of September during the Newcomer briefings scheduled to be given at the Saber and Quill as well they will be present at the PX on August 30th to discuss preparedness with patrons. Additional presentations will be scheduled. Every week during the month we will post a detailed information paper on "BE INFORMED, MAKE A PLAN, BUILD A KIT and GET INVOLVED".



You can show your commitment to take action with Ready Army in "America's Prepareathon!" This is a nationwide, community-based campaign for action to increase emergency preparedness and community resilience.
