Mandates that all federal employees on official travel must stay in accomodations that adhere to the Life Safety requirements in the legislation. When planning to make hotel or motel reservations, travelers should check the approved hotel master list at http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/applications/Hotel/

Smoke detectors save lives. Check your detector monthly and change the batteries at least annually.

Portable extinguishers are life and property savers. Ensure you have one available for the home, work and car.

When traveling and staying at lodging facilities across this great land, get familiar with and know how to get out. Always have a primary and secondary means of escape.
