Dangerous situations, the effects thereof and measures taken in order to prevent dangerous situations Dangerous situation Effect Measures taken in order to prevent dangerous situations Flammable liquids, liquid gas or car batteries are stored in the storages for movables or other common areas. Goods are stored in the corridors of the storages for movables and in the staircases. Cars are parked, truck skips etc. are stored or snow is piled on the rescue ways in the yard areas. Fire extinguishing missions cause danger to fire fighting personnel. It may become more difficult to vacate the building or the storages or personal injuries may occur. People may trip during power outages or exiting the interior of the building may be hindered. The vehicles of the fire brigade cannot come sufficiently close to the building or the aerial ladder platform cannot be raised by the wall. Only objects belonging there are stored in the storages for movables. We immediately intervene in cases of unauthorized action and the goods are removed from the common areas. Goods are immediately removed from the storage corridors and the walkways. The walkways and their exits are always kept operable and free from objects. The rescue ways are marked and they are always kept operable. Turku Student Village Foundation Page 9
Dangerous situation Effect Measures taken in order to prevent dangerous situations The fire alarms in the apartment do not work. The doors of the common areas are not kept locked. The fire doors are kept open or wedged open. A washing machine, a tumble dryer, a dish washer or other such appliances are left running when one leaves the apartment. The power is always left on in televisions, radios, stereos or other such appliances. A burning candle is always an open fire. Hot works are conducted inside the building or on the roof. A beginning fire does not set off the alarm at a sufficiently early stage. By means of locking one prevents strangers from getting into the common areas, whereby thefts and arson can be prevented. Fire doors that are shut prevent fire gases from spreading from one compartment to the next. A running appliance may catch fire or if the appliance breaks there might be water damage. The standby current may cause a fire in an electric appliance. Without adult supervision, a burning candle can in moments cause a devastating fire. There is a considerable risk for fire. The tenant of each apartment inspects the operation of the fire alarm once per month and always when the apartment has been empty for long. When leaving common areas one always ensures that the doors are locked. A fire door must never be wedged open. Running appliances are turned off when the apartment is vacated. The power is turned off from electric appliances at least for the night and when one leaves the apartment. The candles are to be blown out every time when the room is vacated for a longer time, as well as when children, dogs or cats remain in the room. The person who orders the service makes sure that the provider of the service has a valid certificate for hot works as well as the required professional level to carry out hot works.

Shut the doors, windows, air vents and ventilation Open the radio and calmly await instructions Avoid using the telephone in order for the telephone lines not too become overloaded In order to avoid danger, do not leave the area unless the authorities have recommended that you do so Further information can also be found in the text TV of YLE on page 868 (in Finnish 795 in Swedish) and on the first pages of the telephone directories. Turku Student Village Foundation Page 15
HOW TO REACT IN CASE OF A SITUATION WITH DANGER OF GAS The general emergency signal is sounded in situations with danger of gas. In a situation with danger of gas do the same as when the general emergency signal sounds and additionally: If you are indoors and you smell gas Press a wet cloth in front of your mouth and breathe through the cloth Stay at the upper floors until the danger has passed Listen to the radio. If you are outdoors and you are unable to get indoors Hurry away from the path of the gas cloud cross the direction of the wind Try to get as high up in the terrain as possible, for instance on the top of a hill Press a wet cloth in front of your mouth and breathe through the cloth; instead of a piece of cloth a wad of grass, peat or moss can also be used. Further information from the rescue authorities, the media and from the text TV of YLE on page 868 (rescue services, in Finnish 795 in Swedish). Turku Student Village Foundation Page 16
HOW TO REACT IN CASE OF A SITUATION WITH DANGER OF RADIATION The general emergency signal is sounded in situations with danger of radiation. Do this in a situation with danger of radiation: The radiation situation is monitored continuously in the whole country. Even small changes are immediately observed and information about the changes is released without delay. Go inside Shut the doors, windows, air vents and ventilation tightly, in order to prevent radioactive substances from getting inside. The best protection is in the central parts of the building, as well as in the basement. Do not take an iodine tablet until recommended to do so by the authorities Do not take an iodine tablet until recommended to do so by the authorities over the radio or television. Iodine tablets prevent accumulation of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland, but they do not give additional protection. One should not fetch tablets from outside the building in a situation of danger. They can be acquired at the pharmacy in advance. Protect the food and the drinking water Place foodstuffs that are in the open in plastic bags or in tight vessels. A refrigerator, freezer and tight packaging protects from radioactive dust. If you have to go outside If you have to go outdoors, wear a compact outfit that covers the skin, for example rain apparel. When you come inside, undress in the hall and wash yourself carefully. Use a gas-mask, towel or kitchen paper in order to prevent access of radioactive particles into the lungs. Protect animals Take domestic animals indoors and protect carefully their fodder stores and drinking water. Further information from the rescue authorities, the media and from the text TV of YLE on page 868 (rescue services, in Finnish 795 in Swedish) and on page 867 (radiation safety pages, in Finnish).
