1 Weather Safety Severe Storm Information At Give Kids The World Village, we have a severe storm emergency plan in place to keep all of our families safe. In the event of an emergency, you will be notified and given specific information. Tips for Coping with Unpredictable Weather During a strong storm, the safest place in the villa is in the small bathroom or in the hallway. Fill one tub with water to be used for emergencies. If you have electrically powered medical equipment, notify Guest Services at “4322.” A flashlight is in your villa kitchen for your convenience. If the power to your Give Kids The World villa is interrupted, please shut off the air conditioner unit and all electrical equipment, such as your TV, to prevent power surges or further damage. If possible, avoid flushing the toilets. If your villa floods or sustains any damage, please notify Guest Services at “4322.” While it is possible that some attractions may temporarily close, all of the parks are open rain or shine. Make the best of it by planning to see a show or visiting an indoor attraction during inclement weather. Lightning Lightning is a big factor in Florida weather and can occur even if it is not raining. During lightning storms, we ask that you try to remain indoors. If you are in a water environment such as a swimming pool, please seek shelter immediately. Please know that we take lightning very seriously and will close the pool areas and other outdoor activities at the Village during times when lightning has been spotted in the area. Your safety is our top priority. Please note that lightning may cause a delay in Village meal deliveries from Katie’s Kitchen and Mama Merry’s Pizza Kitchen. Thank you for your understanding. Sun Safety The warm weather of Florida means you can have fun in the sun almost all year. We encourage you to take the care needed during your stay and not let a heat-related illness ruin your vacation. Here are a few tips to help you stay cool and comfortable in the Florida sun: • Use of sunscreen is always recommended when in the sun. • Dress for the heat. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. Light colors help reflect away some of the sun’s energy. It is also a good idea to wear a hat. • Carry water or juice with you and drink regularly even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid caffeine and alcohol, which dehydrate the body. • Eat small meals throughout the day and avoid foods that are high in protein which increase metabolic rate. • Avoid using salt tablets unless directed to do so by a physician. • Avoid strenuous activity. If you must engage in strenuous activity, do it during the coolest part of the day. • Stay indoors when possible. • Take regular breaks in air-conditioned areas or in the shade. If you feel that you or someone in your group is beginning to show signs of heat-related illness, stop activity and find a cool place to rest and relax.

16 Give Kids The World Village is GREEN!

Through communication and education about water conservation, energy efficiency and waste reduction, all of us at Give Kids The World are taking “going green” seriously.

Listed below are just a few of the things we are doing here at the Village:

• We have energy sensors in our villas that detect motion, helping us to reduce our air conditioning and heating costs by 45–50%, which is the equivalent of saving 2,000 trees a year! Be assured that the A/C in your villa turns on when you return home and will remain on during the night as you sleep.

• We use energy efficient lighting village-wide, reducing energy consumption by 70–80%.

• We provide a smoke-free environment throughout our public and guest areas.

• We recycle paper, plastic, cans and cardboard in all guest and staff facilities. This saves about 432 cubic feet of material each week from going into a landfill. We encourage you to use the blue recycling bin in your villa throughout the week. No need to sort your recyclables; we will take care of that for you.

• All of our villas use low-flow water fixtures. This reduces water consumption by 25% on a yearly basis. • We encourage towel and linen reuse in guest rooms by only replacing fresh towels and linens upon guest departure. • We offer preferred parking for electric vehicles with available EV charging stations.

• Leaving your villa front door open for more than a few minutes will automatically turn off your air conditioner.

• Your villa lights will be dim when first turned on but will brighten to full capacity in less than a minute.

• We recycle 67,000 cubic feet of materials per year which would fill three GKTW villas.

If you have any comments or suggestions about our “green” efforts, please include them on the guest survey you will receive after your stay.
