If you’re going to be gone for several days or more, remember to take a few precautions to keep your home safe:
- Keep a few lights and a radio on automatic timers, and unplug the rest to avoid surge damage from storms.
- Leave a key with a neighbor or friend who can check on your home and pick up mail, the newspaper, etc.
- Check all windows and doors to make sure they’re locked (an obvious but often overlooked detail).
- Install a motion-activated light outside in dark areas to ward off intruders.
- Take ultra-expensive jewelry and keepsakes as well as important documents to a safety-deposit box.
- Call the alarm company to give them contact information in case anything happens.
