Safety Tip
Put your car keys beside your bed at night. Your key remote is a security alarm system that you already have and requires no installation. Test it! It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If you feel a threat to your personal safety, trigger the car alarm. Odds are an intruder won’t stick around or you can alert your neighbors to an emergency.
Be Prepared
Bad things can happen and we need to be prepared for them when they happen. Here are just a few examples: severe weather, fire, blackouts, terrorism, etc. Be prepared and assemble your Emergency Kits. Use this link and print the 72-Hour Family Emergency Kit check list.
