Alerting Safety Officials (Fire Department, Police) //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Overview // <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">In the event of a house fire, are you certain that smoke detectors throughout the house are working properly? Could all family members properly execute a fire escape plan and safely evacuate a burning home? Are all members of the household aware of the most dangerous aspects of a house fire? If your household is ever in such a situation, having a general understanding of fires as well as a properly designed fire escape plan could mean the difference in life and death. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">According to the most recent statistics, about 85% of all fire related deaths occurred in residential fires, with smoke inhalation being the primary cause of death. Consequently, having knowledge of how to correctly design and instill a fire escape plan in your home could greatly improve your chances of successfully fleeing a house fire. Did you know that a properly designed fire escape plan has two exits from every room in the house as well as an established meeting location upon exiting the residence? With frequent practice of the plan, the chances of surviving a house fire are greatly improved. Are you and your loved ones prepared in the event of such dire circumstances?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The most easily accessible form of instruction would be the use of online instruction and delivery. Using online instruction allows for a wide variety of options for delivering course material such as audio, video, graphic presentation, and testing. While employing any of these delivery methods, one must also consider how to signal the text’s schema. The use of lists would be an appropriate for introducing fire statistics as well as the primary identifying signs of a fire.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">When developing the actual fire escape plan, a number of approaches may be used. One approach that should be considered would include temporal sequencing of the material to be mastered. For example, learners may first be instructed to recognize the layout of their household. Next the will be asked to identify two possible evacuation routes from every room as well as an exit from the home. After this has been successfully completed, the learners will identify a location for meeting upon exiting the household. These are the primary steps for building a fire escape plan.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The use of text can be used in a multitude of ways. Lists can be used to help call out important steps or sequences. Typographical variations, such as large, bold, or italicized words can draw attention to important concepts. The subject of Fire Safety allows for myriad opportunities to relate the importance of knowledge of key ideas.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">One primary consideration is to keep your audience in mind when preparing a PowerPoint presentation. Think about ideas such as, what do you need to tell the learners, what do they expect, what do they already know, what will be interesting to them and what can you teach them. This should be done while keeping the slides as simple as possible and focusing on the essentials.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">When designing a PowerPoint you must keep the design clean and uncluttered, leave space around the text and graphics. Pick one transition and stick to it. Complimentary colors should not be combined, like purple/yellow, red/ green and orange/blue, there should be a limit on a single screen. The background color should be light colored with dark text and using only one or two front styles. Too much text makes the slides unreadable. There should be a few key words and use at least a size 24 font so the slides can be easily read. There must be a title on each slide using 35-45 point fonts. Let a picture or graphic tell the story instead of the text. Using animation can add interest to the presentation when it is used in moderation. Audio clips, videos, and hyperlinks can be inserted in to PowerPoint presentations as well.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Adobe Web Premium Creative Suite consists of a variety of programs, such as Dreamweaver, Flash, Illustrator and Photoshop which can be used to strengthen, develop, and deploy training. You will be able to insert animations, graphics, and videos into the training. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Two open source multimedia resources that should be considered for their design capabilities are Paint and Blender. Paint is a free image editing software that has been compared to commercial products such as to Corel Paint shop Pro and Adobe Photoshop. Blender is a free and open source as well. It is primarily used for 3D content creation with the ability to model, shade, animate, and render.
