Staying Safe in Your New Home

Maintaining a safe house is crucial not just for the protection of your family, but also for the safety of your friends, guests, workers, and other visitors. Keeping your home clear of hazards and outfitted with home safety products can help you avoid routine accidents like falls and protect you from emergencies like fires. In this article, we will be going to tackle how to make your new home safe and secured from intruders.

With all of the excitement of moving, it’s easy to lose sight of the need of protecting your new home. Maintaining house safety is something that cannot be done by one person alone, but requires the participation of everyone. There are several factors that must be considered in order to guarantee that a house is a safe place for all members.

For a crime to occur, three things must be present: desire, ability, and opportunity. By following these basic crime prevention measures, you can have a major impact on the last one – opportunity – and minimize crime.

It does not have to be difficult to figure out how to secure your property. To get started, follow these guidelines.

Here is how you can practice staying safe in your new home

1. Install a Security System.

Installing an alarm system in your house is one of the most effective ways to keep you and your family safe from intruders. And, with dozens, if not hundreds, of local and home security systems to choose from, you’re likely to find one that fits your demands

2. Staying safe is to keep yourself updated with crime trends

Knowing what is going on in your community and with individuals around you can help you identify potential warning signals of the impending crime. Understand what is going on and report any questionable activities to your local law authorities.

3. Keep Medicine In Safe Cabinets

Medicine is something that must be handled with caution at home. No one should disregard the safety requirements for storing medications at home. Not only is the drug dangerous for children, but it is also dangerous for certain adults.

Elderly individuals need drugs to treat a variety of conditions, and it is important to verify that they are taking the correct amount of prescription. It is recommended that they be provided the prescription at the time prescribed by the doctor and return the remaining for safekeeping.

4. Turning on security lights at night can help you stay safe

This home safety rule is intended to protect the family from prospective intruders. Intruders are usually motivated to break into your home while it is dark. Lights deter offenders because they increase the likelihood of being seen.

Having a rule that the lights must be switched on at a set hour can give you peace of mind that things will operate smoothly even if you are not present. Creating a secure environment at home necessitates that everyone plays their part. Making it a rule to do things in a certain manner simplifies things.

5. Locking the garage is one way to ensure that you are staying safe

If you use a security code to unlock the garage, keep it private and never enter it in front of delivery persons, neighbors, or anyone else. Criminals are increasingly using this entry point to your home. Even if they can’t get into your house, chances are you have a lot of valuable items stashed in the garage. Make it a practice to lock all garage doors, both interior and external.

You should also think about storing your garage door opener in the home. This prevents a thief from stealing it from your automobile.

6. Lock down your WIFI Network

Your home wireless network provides access to your personal and financial data. Furthermore, if you use home automation, it can leave your home vulnerable to a break-in. If your Wi-Fi network is linked to smart home devices or your security system, hackers may gain direct access to your home. But you don’t have to leave yourself vulnerable. Use these tips and tricks to keep hackers off your home network.

Secure your wireless router.

Enable WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 encryption.

Rename and hide your home network.

Use a firewall.

Install antivirus and anti-malware protection.

Create strong passwords.

7. Get a safe

In the event that your other home security measures are breached, ensure that valuables are safeguarded. An in-home safe is a safe place to keep everything from jewels to important documents like passports. You want a safe that is fireproof, waterproof, and hefty enough that a thief cannot steal it. Follow these guidelines to get the most out of your safe.

Look for safes that have redundant locks (two locks on one safe).

Choose the appropriate size safe for the assets you wish to safeguard.

Choose whether you want a portable or tethered safe.

8. Add Window Sensors

Window sensors are also referred to as open/closed sensors or entry sensors. When attached to a window or a door, they will notify you when it opens or closes. Protecting potential entry points is an excellent first step toward securing your home. Sensors can be used in both home security and home automation systems. Cause and effect activities that span both can be created. You could, for example, program the sensor to turn on your bedroom light if your door opens after midnight. You may even have it send you a text message if the door opens while you’re away.

Determine which methods are most important to you and establish a strategy to incorporate the others later. The best way to keep your home and loved ones safe is to be aware of potential security concerns and to take action as soon as possible. Smoke alarms, lockable closets for weapon safety, and keeping risks out of the way are all important safety elements to ensure the health and safety of your family. Similarly, adopting safety regulations at home is another approach for all occupants to guarantee that safety is maintained
