Introduction

The drafting, upkeep and communication of the rescue plan are based on the requirement of the Rescue Act (379/2011). In this rescue plan, there is an account:

  1. for the conclusions of the assessment of hazards and risks;
  2. for the safety arrangements of the building and the premises used in the operations;
  3. regarding the instructions to be given to people for the prevention of accidents and acting in accident and danger situations;
  4. other possible actions for independent preparation at the location. (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 15))

The rescue plan must be kept up to date and it must be communicated in the necessary way to the persons in the relevant building or other site. (Government Decree on Rescue Action 407/2011, Section 2.)

There are also other requirements for safety in the Rescue Act; the most important of these are:
The owner and holder of the building and the operator must, for their part take care that the building, structure and its surroundings are kept in such condition that:

  1. the risk of the starting, intentional starting and spreading of a fire is slight;
  2. the people in the building can vacate the building in the event of fire or other sudden danger situation or they can be rescued in another way;
  3. rescue operations are possible in the event of fire or another accident;
  4. the safety of rescue personnel has been taken into account. (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 9))

The following equipment and devices must be kept in working order and serviced and inspected appropriately:

  1. extinguishing, rescue and prevention equipment;
  2. devices that facilitate extinguishing and rescue work;
  3. fire detection, alarm and other devices signalling the risk of an accident;
  4. the lighting and signs of the exit routes;
  5. the equipment and devices of the civil defence shelters (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 12))

The owner and holder of the building and the operator must, for their part:

  1. the starting of fires is to be prevented, as well as the arising of other hazardous situations;
  2. the protection of persons, property and the surroundings in danger situations is to be prepared for;
  3. the extinguishing of fires, and other such rescue measures that they are able to do independently, are to be prepared for;
  4. start action for securing safe exit from fires and other danger situations, as well as action for making rescue operations easier. (Rescue Act 379/2011, Section 14))

Rescue route

The rescue way is a drive way, which the rescue department's vehicles can use in emergency situations to reach to within close proximity of the building.

  • It is not permitted to park cars, pile up snow, set up lampposts, plant vegetation, or do, leave, or set up anything else that might block traffic on the rescue way.
  • Escape routes must be indicated with a text sign in accordance with Ministry of the Interior decree no. 468 of 2003.
  • A rescue way sign is not used if the rescue way is not marked in the building's construction permits.
  • Please contact rescue authorities for advice on any escape route questions.

Emergency exit routes

The principle of exit safety is that all spaces of the building must have at least two exit routes at all times, which do not require keys or other tools to open the doors. Exiting must also be possible to do in the dark, which is why the exit routes must be clear at all times. Because the property has 7 floors, the window or apartment- specific balcony shall serve as an emergency exit. In this event, the rescue department shall assist in evacuating the building in case of emergency. Objects are not to be stored in front of the exits. (Environment Ministry's regulation of fire safety of buildings.)

Exit ways and doors leading to them must be easily accessible and openable in emergency situations from the inside.

A door can be locked, for example, to prevent trespassing from the outside, but must it must be possible to open it from the inside without a key during the normal use of the building.

Never exit into a smoky stairway.

Hot work

Hot work is defined as work in which sparks arise or in which naked flames or other heat sources are used and may cause a fire hazard. Such work includes e.g. oxyacetylene and arc welding, flame and arc cutting, disc cutting and metal grinding, which create sparks, as well as work involving the use of gas burners, other open fire or combustion air blowers.

Performing hot work at a temporary hot work site always requires a permission granted by a person responsible for the hot work. The hot work permission ensures the actions of the different parties regarding safety and fire protection. The person conducting the hot work must have a hot work licence.

The property manager office grants the hot work permissions.

Alerting help

In all urgent emergency situations, whether it be a police, fire department, paramedic, or a social worker case involving an urgent need for help CALL THE EMERGENCY NUMBER: 112

Call the emergency number yourself if you can
It is important to make the emergency call yourself, if the matter concerns you. The victim has more knowledge on the situation, based on which the dispatcher can send help accordingly. Using middle-men to make the call can delay getting the right kind of help on site.
Tell what happened
The emergency centre dispatcher will ask the caller about what happened so that they can send the appropriate assistance.
Give the exact address and municipality
The emergency centre might have several same addresses in different municipalities/cities in its service area. Therefore it is also important to know the name of the town/city/municipality where the accident has taken place.
Answer the questions that are asked of you
The questions asked by the dispatcher are important. They do not delay alarming for help. In urgent cases the dispatcher already alerts the authorities and other partners during the call, and gives them more information on what has happened.
Act according to the information given to you
The dispatcher is trained to give instructions in various types of situations. It is important to follow the given instructions. Correct initial actions often play an important role in the end result.
End the call only after you're given permission to do so.
Ending the call too soon may delay the help from arriving. After you are given the permission to end the call, end it. Keep the phone line open. The dispatcher or the help on its way may need additional information on what has happened.

Sudden illness or accident

Find out what happened
  • Has the person fallen or fainted?
  • Are there possibly eye witnesses, that can tell you better about what has happened?
Check the person's condition
  • Can you wake the person up by talking or shaking?
Check breathing
  • If the person doesn't wake up, check breathing: place the back of your hand in front of the patient's mouth and feel if there is air flow.
Make an emergency call.
  • Call the number 112.
  • Tell where you are calling from.
  • Tell what happened
  • Act according to directions.
Give first aid if needed.
  • If the person is not breathing, start with first aid.
Turn an unconscious but breathing patient into the recovery position on their side.
Observe the patient.
  • If there are changes in the patient's condition before the rescue department arrives, notify them by calling the emergency number 112, so that the emergency centre can re-evaluate your situation.
Guide the professional help quickly to the patient
  • Tell the professional help what has happened and what has been done.

Fire

Save
  • Make an assessment of the situation. Rescue those in immediate danger.
  • Be careful not to breathe smoke! Smoke is highly toxic and you can lose consciousness quickly if you breathe it.
Warn
  • Warn others in the building about the fire and the threatening danger.
  • Direct people to the gathering area.
Alert
  • Call the emergency number 112 from a safe location.
  • Tell who you are, where the fire is (address and floor), what is on fire, and if there are people in danger.
  • Do not hang up the phone until you are given permission to do so.
Extinguish
  • Perform initial extinguishing measures, where possible.
  • A grease fire is extinguished by suffocating it with a fire blanket.
  • When an electrical appliance is on fire, disconnect power and begin extinguishing the fire.
Limit
  • Remove fire sensitive items and flammable liquids.
  • Contain the spread of fire and smoke by closing windows and the door as you exit.
Guide
  • Direct the rescue personnel to the location or arrange guidance. For example: one person stays to guide on the side of the parking lot and another next to the building.
Using the lift in the event of a fire is strictly forbidden!

In evacuation situations the gathering area is: Höyrykatu jalkakäytävä

Back-up gathering area: Määritetään tarvittaessa

Jos kuulet palovaroittimen soivan porraskäytävässä älä soita välittömästi 112 vaan tarkasta näkyykö porraskäytävässä savua. Jos savua näkyy, soita 112. Mikäli savua ei näy, soita huoltoyhtiö tarkastamaan tilanne.

Jos toisessa asunnossa soi palovaroitin, tarkista näkyykö savua, jos ei niin soita huoltoyhtiö tarkastamaan tilanne.

Tulipalo – toimintaohjeet, kun turvallinen poistuminen on estynyt

Joskus toisaalla riehuva tulipalo estää turvallisen poistumisen kiinteistöstä. Näissä tapauksissa on viisainta pysytellä savuttomassa tilassa ovet ja muut aukot suljettuina.

Jää asuntoon ja ole rauhallinen.

  • Älä poistu porraskäytävään.
  • Kerrostaloissa jokainen asunto on tehty omaksi palo-osastokseen, josta palon leviäminen toiseen asuntoon on estetty rakenteellisin toimenpitein.
  • Hyppääminen korkealta johtaa kohtalokkaisiin seurauksiin, asuntoon jääminen ei.
  • Mene parvekkeelle tai ikkunan luo ja herätä huomiota
    • huutamalla
    • vilkuttamalla valoja
    • heiluttamalla jotain näkyvää
    • voit myös soittaa numeroon 112 ja kertoa tarkan osoitteen missä olet.

Varaudu tulipalon leviämiseen.

  • Laske varmuuden vuoksi vettä esimerkiksi lavuaariin.
  • Jos asuntoon alkaa tulla savua ovien raoista, postiluukusta tai ilmanvaihtoventtiileistä, tuuleta raikkaalla ilmalla ja tiivistä vuotokohdat kosteilla tekstiileillä.
  • Jos asunnon ovi alkaa kuumeta, jäähdytä sitä vedellä.
  • Jos liekit lyövät asunnon ikkunoihin, siirrä helposti syttyvät tavarat pois ikkunoiden läheisyydestä.

Noudata viranomaisten antamia ohjeita.

Action in a fire alarm situation

The building has an automatic fire alarm system, which sends an alert to the rescue department. Everyone must vacate the building immediately when they hear the fire alarm.

  • Bring outdoor clothes with you if they are nearby.
  • Close doors and windows
  • Use the nearest escape route to exit the building.
  • Direct customers and guests.
  • Call the number 112 from a safe location and provide further information about the situation. At the same time, you will make sure that the emergency center has been notified about the fire.
  • Move to the gathering area; do not stay in front of the entrances.
  • No-one may leave the gathering area without permission.
Gathering area: Höyrykatu jalkakäytävä

The danger is only over when the rescue department gives permission to return to the building. The safety personnel of the property passes on the announcement concerning moving back inside to the personnel.

Gathering area: Höyrykatu jalkakäytävä
Kokoontumispaikka
Kokoontumispaikka

When people have left the building and proceeded to the gathering area, one person must be appointed to take responsibility for the activities at the gathering area. Based on the situation at hand, it is necessary to consider whether it is safe to remain in the designated gathering area or if people should be directed elsewhere, for example into a pre-arranged interior area or to a property in the vicinity (the back-up gathering area).

Do not leave the gathering area without the permission of the rescue authorities.

Factors to bear in mind in the gathering area:

  • taking care of any possible injured parties
  • looking after people with reduced mobility or otherwise poor physical condition
  • if one is aware of someone having remained inside, this is to be reported

Back-up gathering area

Back-up gathering area: Määritetään tarvittaessa

In severe winter conditions or other situations, an additional gathering area may be needed. Authorities will also provide instructions about shelter locations for long-term shelter.

Assisting people with reduced mobility in emergency situations

In an emergency situation, the movement of people with reduced mobility out of the building may be difficult and slow. If you know there is a neighbour with reduced mobility, for example handicapped, blind, or elderly, try to secure their safe exit in emergency situations. If you know your neighbour is at home, but you are not able to assist in moving them out, notify the rescue authorities about the situation as fast as possible.

Work in cooperation with the other residents.

Things to consider when helping people with reduced mobility
  • Help a person with reduced mobility to exit, within the limits of your own capabilities.
  • Listen to the person you're helping.
  • Take care of the person you helped also after getting out.

Water damage

Action guide
  • Disconnect power from where the leak is and from its proximity.
  • Stop the water from flowing, from i.e. the water mains, if possible.
  • Notify of the situation immediately:
    • to the maintenance personnel: Tapiolan Lämpö Oy, service 0207505300
  • Contact the emergency number if needed 112.
  • Main water shutoff: Lämmönjakohuoneessa ovesta oikealla
  • Heat distribution room: K1. kerros, käynti ulkoa talon päädystä
  • Electricity switchboard: K1. kerros. Käynti lämmönjakohuoneen kautta
Should there be threat of water outside the building
  • Find out what is causing the water threat.
  • If there is a leak, try to block it.
  • Try to prevent the water from getting into the building.
    • by baggings
    • by using plastic covers
    • by directing the water away from the building
  • Call for additional help if needed.

Public warning signal

The public warning signal is a one-minute-long ascending and descending tone or a warning announcement by the authorities. The length of the ascending tone is 7 seconds.

The public warning signal means an immediate danger threatening the public. The warning is given in population centres with an outdoor alarm system and with an alarm attached to a vehicle in rural areas.

The All Clear signal is a one-minute-long monotonous signal. It is an announcement of the threat or danger having passed.

Act in the following way after you've heard the public warning signal
  • Proceed indoors.
  • Stay indoors.
  • Close doors, windows, ventilation holes, and air conditioning devices.
  • Turn on the radio and wait for instructions.
  • Avoid using the phone to prevent telephone lines from getting jammed.
  • Do not leave the areas unless urged to do so by the authorities, so as not to endanger yourself on the way.

Gas hazard

Public warning signal in danger situations concerning gas

Additional information on the type of danger can be got from radio and television. The following are usually connected with a gas hazard.

  • If you are indoors and can smell gas:
    • stay indoors
    • the top floors make the best shelter
    • place a wet cloth over your mouth and breathe through it
    • stay on the upper floors until the danger is over.
  • If you are outside when you smell gas but are not able to get indoors:
    • hurry into side wind from underneath the gas cloud
    • try to get as high as possible, for example to the top of a hill
    • press a wet cloth, tuft of grass, turf, or moss in front of your mouth and breathe through it.
Additional information on taking cover from gas
  • Switch off air conditioning devices and close doors and windows tightly. The more airtight you can make the building, the slower the gas can get inside.
  • You can also close or tape inside doors and stay in upwind areas. If you smell gas you can breathe through a moist and spongy cloth.
  • The authorities will announce on radio or with vehicles with loudspeakers when the gas cloud has dispersed. Ventilate indoors well after the event.

Radiation hazard

Radiation situations are monitored with gauges throughout the country. Even the slightest change is detected immediately and notified of. A public warning signal is given upon the threat of radiation.

Go inside
Close doors, windows, ventilation holes, and air conditioning tightly to prevent radioactive substances from getting indoors. The centre of the building is the best place to take shelter.
Iodine tablets
Take an iodine tablet only when the authorities tell you to do so either on the radio or on television. Iodine tablets prevent radioactive iodine from building up in the thyroid gland, but offers no other protection. You should not go outside the facilities to look for iodine tablets when the danger situation is present. You can acquire iodine beforehand from the pharmacy. Each property should have 2 iodine tablets per person.
Protect your food and drinking water
Put the food products that are out into plastic bags or tight containers. The refrigerator, freezer, and tight packages protect against radioactive dust.
Moving outside
If you must go outside, use tight clothing that covers the skin, for example rain gear. Upon coming back inside, take off your clothes in the entry hall and wash up well. Use a respiratory mask, towel, or paper towel to prevent radioactive particles from getting to your lungs.
Additional instructions
You will get additional information from your city's rescue authorities, from broadcast media, and from Yle's (the Finnish Broadcasting Company's) Teletext page 867. You can also find information from the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority's website www.stuk.fi and from the rescue authorities website www.pelastustoimi.fi.

Blackouts

How to act during a power cut:

  • First check the fuses. If they are intact, find out whether the electricity of your neighbour or neighbouring houses is working.
  • If the electricity is out from a larger area, the problem is already known and actions to fix it have started. Most electricity suppliers have a taped recording of the malfunction on its fault service number, which will give information on the blackout situation in your area. The electricity supplier of the property is Sallila Energia Oy. The fault service number of the electricity supplier is 027643201.
  • When the electricity comes back but acts unusually, for example the lights burn brighter or dimmer than usual, the reason might a break in the electricity network's neutral wire. This can result in equipment damage, fire and, in the worst case, the risk of electric shock. In such situations, switch off the electricity from the main switch and call your electricity supplier's fault emergency number.
  • When a power cut lasts longer, prepare yourself with warm clothes, especially in the winter, and home storage supplies. Instructions regarding home storage supplies can be found in the appendices.

In the event of a power cut, lifts will stop working. Should you be stuck on a lift due to a power cut or other failure, act as follows:

Contact the lift maintenance emergency line:

  • by mobile phone - (Schindler, 020320500) or
  • the emergency button inside the lift. (This will connect directly to the lift maintenance emergency line.)

When necessary, you can call the general emergency number 112.

Electric vehicle fire

In an electric vehicle fire, extinguishing the burning batteries is difficult and requires a large amount of water. The generated gases are toxic, and breathing them should be avoided. An electric vehicle fire must always be reported immediately by calling the emergency number 112.

How to act in the case of an electric vehicle fire:

If an electric vehicle is burning or generating smoke, DO NOT start the initial firefighting. Instead:

  • Save those in danger
  • Summon help by calling 112
  • Exit the danger zone
  • Avoid breathing gases from the fire
  • Warn others, and prevent them from entering the fire area
  • Guide the rescue services to the site

Civil defence

This property does not have its own civil defence shelter.

The property has a civil defence shelter. Pasilankatu 17 C (1. kerros / irtainvarasto).

The purpose of the civil defence shelter is to protect people from collapses, explosion pressure, fragments and radiation. Moving into civil defence shelters is always done through directions from the authorities. Accidents occurring in normal times do not generally ever require taking cover in civil defence shelters, with taking cover indoors being sufficient.

Storing in the property

Storage of different kinds of objects may lead to a hazard of fire starting or spreading, the prevention of safe exit in an emergency situation and increased difficulty in extinguishing the fire. It is easier to prevent a fire pre-emptively than to extinguish it. For this reason it is necessary to know what causes fires and to recognise the hazardous factors in one's own immediate environment. Rescue law contains directives on, for example, the storage of easily flammable materials and other objects within buildings. Legislation on chemicals contains restrictions on storage of flammable liquids and other dangerous chemicals in spaces where they can cause an exceptional hazard. Many substances which are kept at home also generate explosive gases that ignite from a spark, for example the spark caused by a light switch - so fire is not even needed for ignition. Therefore always handle fire- hazardous substances in accordance with instructions. Storing fire hazardous substances in apartment-specific storage rooms is strictly forbidden. Storing them in apartments and garages is limited.

The building's exit hallways and staircase areas must be kept walkable and clear of any obstacles.

Apartments and the balconies, terraces or equivalent areas belonging to them
  • If storage is possible without endangering safety, the following can be stored:
    • flammable liquids and aerosols containing flammable liquids or flammable gases, up to a maximum amount of 25 litres
    • up to 25 kg of liquid gas
    • fireworks, up to 5 kg (net weight), must be stored in a locked closet accordingly with no heat sources or handling of fire, which could cause the fireworks to explode
  • Flammable gases, other than the aforementioned, must not be stored in the apartment.
  • Storing of unnecessary items in the apartments should be avoided.
Exit corridors, staircases, inside hallways, and storage area passages
  • It is not permitted to store any items.
Under or near buildings
  • It is not permitted to store flammable material or other goods by the walls of the building, e.g. garbage containers, piles of cardboard, or transportation trays
  • Refuse containers outside, as well as refuse shelters, are to be positioned at least 8 metres away from the building
A separate storage space belonging to the residential building residential building)
  • It can store:
    • flammable liquids and aerosols containing flammable liquids or flammable gases, up to a maximum total amount of 50 litres
    • up to 50 kg of liquid gas
Attention!
  • The rescue authorities can permit single case exceptions, for example for storing a larger amount or allowing storage in a different place or limit storing, if safety requires that

Business space owner's responsibilities

The owner or business practitioner of the space must to the extent of his/her abilities supervise that rules and regulations for fire and accident prevention, and individuals' safety in the work place, are followed.

How to use a small fire extinguisher

The resident is responsible for acquiring extinguishing equipment for the apartment.

Extinguishers

  • Turn the extinguisher upside down and shake the extinguisher to ensure the powder's running.
  • Remove the safety pin.
  • Approach the fire from the direction of the wind.
  • If you are indoors, approach low on the floor, as this will improve the visibility.
  • Take a hold of the extinguisher's hose from the end and direct the extinguishing substance at the base of the flames, don't cut through them.
  • Start extinguishing from the front and continue towards the back, or from bottom to top.
  • Extinguishing can be improved with a back and forth motion.
  • The whole area that is burning must be covered in the extinguisher cloud.
  • After the flames are extinguished the extinguishing can be stopped.
  • Observer the burnt object and make sure that the fire is out.
  • If the target catches fire again, repeat the extinguishing.

Extinguishing blankets

  • Take a hold of the corners of the blanket and protect your hands by placing them inside the blanket.
  • Step on the blanket with your foot; this will prevent the flames from getting to your face.
  • If you are outside, approach the fire from the direction of the wind.
  • Extend your arms straight.
  • Spread the blanket over the fire.
  • Hold the blanket tightly over the fire and make sure that the fire is extinguished.
  • Protect yourself while lifting the blanket as the fire can re-ignite.
  • Make sure once more that the fire is extinguished.

Car shelter

The vehicle shelter is intended only for the storage of motor vehicles. The intended use is mentioned in the up-to-date construction permit.

The fire safety requirements of the construction of a vehicle shelter are specified in class E of Finland's national building code. The requirements have some differences in relation to other usage purposes in terms of, for example, the fire resistance and evacuation safety of structures.

The car shelter may not be used in contravention of the building permit except with the permission of the building monitor. The purpose of use is a parking area for motor vehicles, i.e. not a car wash, loading area, refuse room, storeroom, shop, flea market, car repair garage, tire store etc.

Keeping other loose equipment in vehicle shelters is more limited due to greater risks to personal property and people. In addition to motor vehicles, the following objects may be stored:

  • mopeds, motorcycles, snowmobiles and other motor vehicles in the Finnish Transport Safety Agency's vehicle registry
  • bicycles
  • a small trailer if empty
  • vehicles intended for the care of the property.

In addition to the list above it is not permitted to store other property, such as:

  • additional appliances attachable to the vehicles intended for the care of the property
  • working machines, such as excavators, vibrators, driven cranes, etc.

Fire alarm caretaker's tasks

Actions during a fire alarm

When a fire alarm is sounded the alarm caretaker goes to the fire alarm centre. They check from a navigation chart which area the alarm has come from. Leaves the navigation chart at the centre for the rescue department. Remains waiting for the rescue department's arrival to the fire alarm centre.

If it is known that the alarm is false, this is reported to the emergency centre. Do not sign off the fire alarm before the fire department arrives!

In the event of a fire, make a confirmation call to the public emergency number 112. The loop which made the alarm is not to be signed off until the reason for the alarm has been found.

If it is a false alarm, you must always find out:

  • which detector has sounded the alarm
  • why the detector has sounded the alarm

If a false alarm goes off repeatedly:

  • order maintenance from the fire alarm company
  • negotiate a possible change to the detector brand.

Events are noted in the log.

Actions in a fault notification

Upon fault notification it is the fire alarm's caretaker's responsibility to make sure that it is indeed a fault and not a fire. A nurse will report the situation to the emergency services. A fault report must not be registered until the fault has been located.

The fire alarm caretaker must make sure that the faults are repaired immediately. If the fault is not immediately fixed, the site must be disconnected. This way the rest of the property remains under supervision.

Events are marked into the journal.

To avoid false notices

Whenever construction, maintenance, or other work is done in the property, causing dust, smoke, etc. you must contact the fire alarm caretaker. The caretaker's task is to perform the necessary actions to avoid false fire alarms. For example, with dirty or dusty work the detectors must be protected.

If normal use, e.g. cooking, steam, etc. causes unnecessary fire alarms, they can be avoided by changing the brand of detectors. This should be negotiated with the fire alarm company.

Disconnections

Disconnections and reconnections are usually the responsibility of the fire alarm's caretaker.

Disconnections are made when detectors are faulty or when hot work or other jobs causing dust or dirt are done. The disconnection time and area should be kept as small as possible.

The area being disconnected must be supervised in some other way. The person requesting the disconnection is responsible for the supervision of the area together with the fire alarm's caretaker. If disconnections are used outside normal working hours or if the disconnection is prolonged, alternative actions must be negotiated with the fire officer on duty.

Hot work

The person ordering the work must find out if the work involves doing hot work. Before performing the job, it must be ensured that the person doing it follows hot work procedures. When performing hot work, the hot work standard and the insurance company's hot work occupational health and safety guidelines must be followed. When performing hot work, false alarms are prevented by following the procedures outlined in the previous points.

Monthly testing

The purpose of monthly testing is to ensure that the fire alarm is working correctly and that contact details are up to date. The equipment is tested in accordance with the instructions of the emergency centre and the centre's testing guidelines.

In monthly testing, the following is tested, for example:

  • the functioning of loops and fire groups
  • the functioning of measuring and supervision circuits
  • the alarm's functioning
  • connection testing (emergency centre connection)
  • Monthly tests are recorded in a log.

Alarms

Alarms must be chosen and positioned so that they can be heard all over the property and wake up / get the attention of those in the property when sounding the alarm. All acoustic alarms in the building must have the same sound.

An alarm test must be done once a year during working hours, so that the sound becomes familiar. The test day and time must be notified of beforehand to the staff and guests.

The fire alarm's journal

The following is marked in the journal (time and reason as detailed as possible):

  • Monthly tests
  • Maintenance
  • By the authorities tekemät tarkastukset
  • By the inspection department tarkastukset
  • Fire alarms
  • Fault reports
  • Faulty hälytykset
  • Operation disruptions
  • Disconnections

Home storage supplies

Home storage supplies are a part of a housing company's residents' independent protection. Surprising circumstances are easier to overcome when you have a home storage supply at home. Home storage supply means those food and other daily goods that are stocked up on more than normally needed in weekly/monthly use. The home storage supply should last for several days, even a week. The home storage supply consists of everyday groceries and items, which are stocked up on as they are used up. This way the groceries and other items stay fresh and usable.

A situation where you cannot get to the store can surprise you for many reasons. A person living alone can get sick and is not able to go shopping or a member of the family can fall sick. The wider society is vulnerable as well; there can be a strike, traffic connections may break down, or there might be a wider disturbance in the electricity grid. There can be an accident which closes the stores or prevents you from going outside. Additionally, distribution disturbances can prevent goods from getting to the stores as well as getting items from the store.

Each family has their own kind of home reserves consisting of usual groceries. The contents of the home reserves can differ based on the household's food preferences and also include containers for storing water, medicine, iodine tablets, as well as household-specific necessities. The home reserves should last at least a week, preferably two – home reserves are continuously used and restocked continuously.

The home reserves also include essential supplies, of which there must be a supply for the same period as in the case of food. These are, amongst others, personal medication, hygiene products, nappies, a battery-powered radio, an electric flashlight and batteries.
