10 Tips for the safety of your home

 

  1. Keys. Before you get home, take your keys, look around you and use the shortest time to enter.
  2. Lighting. It is recommended to illuminate outdoor areas and access to your home. One option is to make use of a lighting which is activated by movement. This will allow you realize someone’s presence.
  3. Strangers. Avoid the entrance to your home to strangers. If asked to enter an emergency, it is better that you apply to the appropriate authorities.
  4. Identity. If you have children, teach them to but are unsure of the identity of the caller at the door, do not open the door.
  5. Services. If you applied any service before entering your home requests to be fully identified; otherwise, do not open the door.
  6. Information. No strangers reporting your activities, your family or neighbors.
  7. Objects. Avoid placing items of value that can be seen from the street or through the windows, as this could attract criminals. Avoid having more money at home.
  8. Posts. If you leave your house, avoid leaving obvious indications that there are; never put messages on the door indicating your absence.
  9. Doors. When you leave your home, check that doors and windows are kept closed, to prevent the entry of any foreign to your home. It is also recommended to install a panoramic peephole to see who called to the front door, especially at night.
  10. Directory. Have on hand a directory or cards containing emergency phone numbers and if the need not waste time.
