Summer Safety Tips To Protect Your Amarillo Home And Family

Summer is known for pleasant weather, adventures, and making memories with friends and family. While you should head out and appreciate life, you should also take action to secure those precious moments. Check out our simple summer safety tips and see how the right security system can help defend your family members and your Amarillo home. Don’t allow a security lapse to dampen your fun in the sun!

Keep Access Points Secure In Your Amarillo Home

Nothing compares to the summer breeze flowing through your windows at night. Just be sure to secure them if you leave! Your advanced alarm system can help by letting you know if an access point isn’t secure. If you attempt to arm your property, but accidentally leave a door or window unsecured, your system will alert you of the security lapse. You can have warnings sent through your smartphone’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Maintain Protection When You’re On Vacation

Many families vacation during the summertime, leaving residences unoccupied for days or weeks. An advanced security system with remote accessibility will keep you informed, allowing you to view live camera streams or recorded events through your mobile device. You might also configure smart lights to turn on at different times to make your residence seem occupied. If something takes place, your system will warn you and your monitoring agents at once.

Here are several other safety tips when leaving home:

  • Never broadcast your holiday on social media. Even if you share to a private group, you can’t be certain who will see the content. Instead, post photos of your travels when you return.
  • Invite a neighbor to keep an eye on things and inform you if something suspicious takes place.
  • Ensure exterior lights are illuminated at night and consider using motion-detecting lighting.

Protect Those Precious Moments With These Additional Summertime Safety Tips

Safeguarding your home is crucial, but you also need to protect yourself and your family members when enjoying time outdoors. You can do so by following these summertime safety tips:

  • Watch kids around pools, busy streets, grills, and fireworks
  • Protect your skin by applying sunscreen and reapply regularly, especially when swimming
  • Have a person in your household get certified in CPR
  • Always go swimming with a friend
  • Don life jackets when boating and helmets when riding bikes
  • Be aware of dangerous plants and inform kids
  • Always let someone know what you’re doing
  • Maintain fences around swimming pools and lock gates when not in use

Swimming pools are one of the delights of summer, but they also are a well-documented risk. Consider implementing smart locks on pool gates to boost safety and security.
