Warmer, summer weather generally means carefree days with friends and family, swimming, biking, and other outdoor activities. But with summer vacation in full swing, many homeowners are concerned about making sure that their homes and loved ones inside stay safe. Whether you are concerned about leaving your home while you are away on vacation, or want to make sure that your children are safe while you are away at work, summer safety should always be on your mind. Keep reading to learn more about safety issues at home and summer safety tips to keep your home and children safe.
Summer safety goes much farther than waiting an hour to swim after you eat. It is a fact that burglaries increase by 11% in the summer months. This is because with the longer daylight hours and school being out, people are far more likely to be away from home, either on vacation or enjoying summer activities. Practicing summer safety tactics can ensure that your home never becomes a target and, if it does, that everyone in your family knows how to appropriately handle the situation.
With school out until the fall (and potentially even longer due to the coronavirus pandemic) It is more likely that children will be left home unattended during this time, and are far less likely to be perceived as a threat to someone looking to break into your home. If you do have children staying home while you are at work, regardless of their age, you need to go over some safety precautions with them to ensure they remain secure inside your home.
There are some simple steps that you can take to keep your home secure during the summer. Keeping the doors locked and the garage doors closed is a simple one. If you want to take further measures, many security systems offer the option to install a motion detector and security camera. If you are going away on vacation, then you should take care to leave a few lights on while you are gone. Making sure that the lawn stays cut or leaving a car in the driveway while you are gone is another way to deter criminals.
