Secure your garage as well

Well, you don’t have to forget about your garage if you want to be safe. Unfortunately, many thieves take advantage of the fact that people do not secure their garage and steal all the goods they find.

“The two most important tips for securing the attached garage door is the two-point vulnerability: the windows and doors of the garage. They need to be secured just like your exterior doors and windows, and alarms can be installed on the garage door and windows. Never leave your garage door open when you leave home, it’s a sure sign no one is home and always lock the garage entry door,” says Kardian.

You should create a safe room

Each individual should create a safe room to hide in case their home is invaded, whether we are talking about the bathroom or the bedroom. 

“Designate a room as a safe room that the family can go to in the event of an emergency like a home invasion or burglary. The safe room can be an elaborate, reinforced walk-in closet or a bathroom with a solid door and good lock. A door security bar can be purchased for $25. A prepaid cell phone that stays in the safe room allows you to call for help if you leave your cell phone behind,” said Kardian. 

“The reason I like the D.A.D. is that you can silently send an emergency GPS alert to your contact list including your family. It has a crowd alert that will notify anyone within one mile of your location that you are in danger,” says Kardian.
