The summer months are a great time of year. It is also the time when people are so busy that we overlook safety and security in our everyday lives. Below are 8 great tips to think about as we enjoy the longer days and warm weather:
- Kids are playing at all times of the day and night – slow down as you drive through your neighborhood.
- Make sure homes are cool for pets with either air conditioner or fans. A hot home is very dangerous for pets.
- Staying hydrated on hot days is important, especially for younger children and our older friends and families.
- Sun screen is vital to keep skin from burning in the hot sun. Beware the hazy days when one may think the sun is not strong – these days are sometimes even worse.
- Summer is a great time to get your furnace / heating system serviced for the impending colder months ahead.
- Don’t forget to stop your mail service if you go on vacation. Mailboxes loaded with mail are a sign to criminals that people are not home.
- Invest in timer lights to light your home when you are away on Vacation.
- Summer Vacation is a great time to start to develop your security technology wish-list for 2019 budgets. Don’t new security cameras sound great?!?!
Have a great summer from your friends at United Security, Inc.
