10 Home Safety Tips from Prime Protection

Each week Prime Protection will bring you 10 home safety tips on our blog to ensure your home is protected. 

1. In case of an emergency, it is important to be able to reach the telephone without getting out of bed.

2.  Telephone numbers for the Police, Fire Department, and local Poison Control Center, along with a neighbor’s number, should be readily available. Write the numbers in large print and tape them to the phone, or place them near the phone where they can be seen easily.

3. Don’t broadcast the fact that you’ll be away on Twitter, Facebook, craigslist, in your blog or anywhere else on the Internet.

4. A nosy neighbor is a burglar’s worst enemy. Get to know your neighbors and work out an arrangement to watch each other’s houses. Let them know when you will be gone and whether any deliveries are expected during your absence.

5. Go through each room and write down a list of possessions, including serial numbers. Take pictures of your valuables and keep them in a safe place or with a friend or relative. This will help in the event of a burglary.

6. Arrange for your lawn to be mowed if you are going away for an extended time.

7. Sliding glass doors are vulnerable. Special locks are available for better security.

8. Lawn mowers, snow blowers, barbecues and bicycles are best stored out of sight.

9. When moving into a new home, have all locks changed.

10. Keep your garage door closed and locked.
