Cottage Safety


For some, a cottage is their "home away from home".  Here are some safety considerations for your cottage.
  • Be prepared for all weather conditions - bring rain gear and clothes that can be layered.
  • Make sure your cottage is equipped with smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors and test them every time you visit
  • Know where the closest hospital is and have emergency phone numbers posted along with your cottage address
  • Make sure your cottage is identifiable for 9-1-1 responders
  • Have a first aid kit including fast acting antihistamines for allergic reactions and "syrup of ipecac" to induce vomiting
  • Keep an emergency flash light with new batteries in a convenient location and you won't have to search for it when the power goes out
