Lesson Overview

10.62 – Safety in Hotels, Motels, or Transitional Housing: Temporary living arrangements require sharper situational awareness because environments and neighbors change frequently. Choose rooms near exits but not ground-level windows for balanced safety and escape access. Check locks, peepholes, and smoke detectors immediately upon arrival. Keep emergency numbers by your bed and locate stairwells instead of elevators for emergencies. Avoid disclosing your room number publicly, even at front desks. When leaving, store valuables in locked luggage rather than visible surfaces. Use door wedges or portable alarms at night for added protection. Trust intuition—if staff or guests make you uneasy, request reassignment discreetly. Keep lights and curtains adjusted for privacy without total darkness. Transitional housing adds routines—report concerns promptly, respect curfews, and store medications securely. Safety in temporary spaces begins with preparation that transforms uncertainty into control. Treat every location as a new learning environment for independence; vigilance ensures that even short stays strengthen resilience instead of increasing vulnerability.
