Emergency preparedness for renters and landlords involves creating an emergency kit, understanding the building's evacuation plan, and securing important documents. Renters should also maintain communication with their landlord and stay informed about local risks. Landlords are responsible for creating an emergency plan that includes clear evacuation routes, communication methods, and contact information for tenants. Landlords should also conduct regular inspections to identify hazards, ensure safety equipment like smoke detectors is functional. Both landlords and tenants have roles in emergency preparedness, from physical safety measures to financial planning and staying informed.
