Safety first: ensure you know where to find the emergency exit and who to contact in case of an emergency. When you are presenting in front of an audience and the fire alarm goes off or another emergency happens it is important that you know what is the best thing to do.
As you are the one standing in front of the audience, people may look at you for guidance and direction what to do. Be prepared and know what is the best thing to do.
Avoid dangerous situations for yourself and your audience. Do you know the emergency procedures? Ensure that you won't get
caught by surprise.
You can use a checklist to prepare and get ready for the moment till you will begin your presentation. We have developed a checklist that is part of the Public Speaking Kit that you can use and enhance to avoid that you miss some important matters before the attention of the audience turns towards you.
