Security Tips of the Day

Home
The most basic security technique is deterrence - protecting your home by discouraging intruders from making it their next target. Burglars don't want to risk being caught, so they are less likely to victimize a house that looks occupied or protected by a security system.

Install a professional home security system that's monitored twenty-four hours a day. According to FBI statistics, a home with a professional security system is 15 times less likely to be burglarized than a home without a security system.

When you're away from home, don't stop your mail or newspaper deliveries - it lets potential intruders know you're away. Instead, have a neighbor pick up your deliveries.

Valuables
Keep important papers, valuable jewelry and large amounts of cash in a safe deposit box.

Install a professional home security system for maximum protection.

Fire
Fire is potentially one of the most disastrous situations your family could encounter. It is one of the leading causes of accidental death in the home, most often affecting children and the elderly. In addition, fires account for over $2 billion in damage to homes each year.

Fires can begin anywhere, but two areas in your home pose the biggest fire threat: the kitchen and the garage.

To reduce your risk of fire, check regularly for frayed or worn power cords or plugs, and replace them immediately.

With a professionally monitored fire protection system like the Linear DVS 2400 from Secure Home you'll have peace of mind knowing your home and family are secured whether you're home or away, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Health
There are over a million cases of poisoning reported each year, most of them affecting children. To reduce the risk of accidental poisoning in your home, don't take your medicine in front of young children who may not understand its use.

Be especially cautious during a change in your family's routine, such as vacation, moving, arrival or a new baby or house guests as these are times when accidental poisonings are more likely to occur.

If you suspect poisoning, check for these signs:
  • dizziness, drowsiness
  • odor on breath
  • open bottles or spilled container
  • vomiting, nausea or abdominal pain
  • difficult or shallow breathing
  • hyperactivity, irritability
Check to see if the victim is breathing; if not, call an ambulance or police immediately.
  • loosen clothing around the neck
  • perform CPR
  • call poison center, emergency room and/or doctor
  • cover victim with blanket and loosen tight clothing
  • do not give food, drink, alcohol or drugs
  • save and give doctor poisonous substance, container and label
Kids
You can help your children become more responsible and protect themselves in a variety of situations by teaching them about safety at a young age.

Find out if your school has an attendance call-back program to let you know if your child does not arrive at school.

Personal
Unfortunately, crime can happen to anyone, anywhere. But with some basic defense strategies, you can reduce your risk of becoming a victim.

Avoid traveling alone.

Prepare yourself with a defensive plan, before an attack occurs.
