Persons staying in hotels, particularly high rises, should review several general guidelines for defensive action in case of fire and should become familiar with the physical layout and escape routes of the building in which they are staying.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
