Home Safety Survey
An interactive, branching self-assessment that helps households review practical home-safety topics and produces a participant assessment for their own records. Participants may bring or share it with a local fire department or qualified professional for possible evaluation.

Important limitation: A2C3 does not inspect, certify, approve, or declare a home safe or unsafe. Survey responses are self-reported and cannot be independently verified by A2C3.
Pool and water safety
Does this residence have access to a pool, spa, hot tub, or portable pool?
Your answer helps determine which questions are relevant next.How the survey works
Relevant questions, not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Gateway questions identify which topics apply. The survey then presents a limited set of core and conditional questions without asking for a resident's name, exact address, school, diagnosis, or access credentials.
- 01
Identify relevant conditions
Broad questions establish the residence type and whether features such as a pool, large rechargeable battery, supplemental heat source, or potential carbon-monoxide source are present.
- 02
Branch to useful topics
Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier response makes them relevant. A household without a pool, for example, does not receive the pool-safety sequence.
- 03
Review practical guidance
Participants receive topic-level guidance and areas to review—not a pass/fail grade, inspection result, code determination, or guarantee that the home is safe.
- 04
Keep or share the assessment
Save the resulting assessment for personal records or voluntarily share it with a local fire department or qualified professional. No department is required to receive, review, accept, certify, or approve it.
Topic coverage
A broad view of everyday home safety.
Questions and guidance may be updated as source guidance and local considerations change.
Escape planning
Clear exits, household plans, and evacuation assistance.
Cooking and electrical
Everyday behaviors, damaged equipment, and overheating.
Batteries and heating
Charging, damaged batteries, space heaters, and fireplaces.
Pool and water safety
Barriers, supervision, emergency access, and chemicals.
Responder access
Address visibility and department-approved access arrangements.
Current boundaries
Educational support—not an inspection.
The survey does not certify code compliance, replace a professional inspection, diagnose risk, provide emergency guidance, or determine whether a residence is safe or unsafe. A2C3 cannot verify the accuracy, completeness, or current condition represented by self-reported answers.
Sharing is optional: The participant assessment is for the participant's own records and may be brought or shared with a local fire department or qualified professional for possible evaluation. Sharing does not require that person or agency to review, accept, certify, approve, or act on it.
Voluntary department follow-up: Participating departments may configure a link to their official website or contact form when a participant wants to request referral or professional evaluation. The participant provides any personal information directly to the department. Names, addresses, contact information, and survey answers do not pass through A2C3. The department's privacy, public-records, retention, eligibility, and response policies apply, and use of the link does not guarantee review, contact, inspection, referral, or another outcome.
