  • Retail outlets should be certain to have adequate containment for their products and proper lighting to discourage break-ins.
  • If possible, retail facilities should have access to emergency water supplies to combat fires directly on their grounds. Otherwise, retailers should make certain to have a plan for accessing the nearest water supply.
  • Retailers should work with local law enforcement and emergency personnel to ensure these groups regularly patrol their facilities and know how to gain access to them in an emergency situation.
