Roommate Emergency Preparedness Checklist
Every shared home needs an emergency plan that all roommates know and agree on.
Fire safety: Check smoke detectors, know your escape routes, and keep a fire extinguisher accessible.
Medical: Share emergency contacts, know the nearest hospital, and keep a basic first-aid kit stocked.
Utilities: Know where the water shutoff, circuit breaker, and gas valve are located.
Store emergency contacts and important info in HomeCo's shared space so every roommate can access it anytime.
