You never know what the future holds, but many emergencies and crimes can be easily prevented with just a little preparation. Incorporate these three simple safety tips into your normal routine to make 2010 a year of safety and prosperity for you and your family!
• Shred all junk mail
Criminals can use junk mail to order products or credit cards in your name and establish steal your identity. It’s even important that you even shred the return envelopes, as many of them have barcodes, which contain your personal information.
• Set the lock your doors and set alarm EVERY time you leave the house
Raise your right hand and repeat after me, “I will set the alarm every time I leave the house,” and then do it. As many as 30% of all home intrusions are classified as “unlawful entries” because the criminals don’t have to force their way inside. They simply walk in through an unlocked door or window.
As great as our Monitronics home security alarm systems are, they don’t work when they’re not activated. Please, lock your doors and set your alarms!
• Have a safety plan for fire, emergency, or other natural disaster
Do your kids know what to do in case an emergency or inclement weather strikes while they’re home alone? Do you and your family know what to do in case a fire strikes in the middle of the night? The Szloseks from Palmyra, Tennessee did and thanks to their quick thinking and Monitronics monitored smoke and fire alarm system, they escaped their house in time to avoid serious injury or even death.
We at Monitronics would like to wish you a safe, healthy, and prosperous 2010 for you and your loved ones! For total protection against burglary, fire, and carbon monoxide poisoning, consider installing or upgrading your Monitronics home security system.
