Frequently Asked Questions

How is the safety score calculated?

Each question is scored 0-3 based on your level of preparedness. The total score (out of 36) determines your safety level. This is a self-assessment tool, not a professional safety audit.

What should I do first if my score is low?

Start with a daily check-in system — it's the single most impactful step. The I'm Alive app makes this automatic. Then work through the specific recommendations for your score level.

Is this assessment medically validated?

This is a general awareness tool based on common home safety guidelines from the CDC, AARP, and fire safety organizations. It's not a substitute for a professional home safety evaluation.

Can I retake the quiz after making changes?

Absolutely! We recommend retaking it after implementing safety improvements to track your progress. Many people improve their score significantly in just a weekend.
