Some of the most familiar of holiday decorations – strings of lights – are also useful in emergencies. Holiday lights (or any other string of lights) can be used in emergencies to illuminate pathways, mark exits, direct pedestrian traffic flow and to literally spell out instructions. Some strings are created for both indoor and outdoor use. Strings using LED lights are a highly reliable and cost-effective version. Consider keeping strings of LED holiday lights on hand. For budget conscientious safety shoppers: remember that they often go on sale at the end of the season!
