Adaptability

- The messages are generic and would work in a number of contexts, with edits to the images.

- n/a

Text Clarity

- The key messages are clearly written, despite some errors in spelling and grammar. The flyer relies heavily on the content of the text, with images being secondary.

- text is very clear.

Context Appropriateness

- The flyer appears to be targeted towards those who reside in better quality accommodation in non-crisis settings, since it refers to a number of social services, equipment and structures that would not be available in, for example, a camp or unfinished/abandoned building. If this is the case, then the messaging is probably appropriate (although the images would need to be edited to more accurately refer to the context). If the flyer is intended for use in other accommodation settings (e.g. camps, informal settlements, buildings under secondary occupation) then some of the messages and images are not relevant (or may not accurately convey the message) without further explanation. Furthermore, as the flyer is heavily dependent on the content of the text, this is not suitable for a non-literate audience.

- n/a

Technical Complexity

- The messaging focuses on good practices in the home and in responding to fire or injury, covering a range of important points that should be understood by all residents in a household/community.

- n/a

Image Clarity

- The use of simplified graphics serves as a clear aide-memoire for the reader, but does not directly convey the content of the messages (particularly in the sections on "Treatment of an Injury" and "How to Decrease the Risk of Fire"). The images in section on "Electrical Safety" are more obscure and potentially confusing, with the messages not being fully or accurately represented.

- The leaflet relies on text, not images. The images alone do not convey the message.

Technical Accuracy

- The key messages, covering medical response, fire prevention and responding to a fire, are in line with general guidance.

Overall

Depending on the intended audience, I would generally recommend fire safety brochures focus on images that clearly convey the key messages, rather than using images as "space-fillers". This would allow the material to be used and understood by a wider range of people - those who cannot read, children, people with poor eyesight etc - who also have a role to play in ensuring the household is safe from fire hazards and in responding to medical or fire emergencies.
