- Secure all windows, including those upstairs and reduce the chance of easy entry by cutting tree limbs away from second-story windows.
- Remove objects that might allow access to your home, such as ladders or trash cans that could be used to enter a window or scale a fence.
- Do not leave Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus or other social media posts letting people know that you will be out of town.
- Turn your telephone ringer down, so no one outside can hear repeated rings, and review your answering machine message to make sure it does not imply you are away; also, use timers to operate lights.
- Make sure to have all mail, newspapers and deliveries stopped or picked up by a neighbor, friend or relative.
- Position the grill at least two feet away from decks, siding and any outdoor equipment that can catch fire quickly such as pool toys and playground sets. Additionally, trim low-hanging branches away from your grilling location.
- Always keep a portable fire extinguisher nearby. Read the instructions in advance as there will not be time to do so in the event of an emergency.
- Consider having a professionally monitored security system installed that will dispatch the authorities in the event of a break-in. Depending upon your system, you can receive an email and text-message alerts of security events on your smart phone or laptops, and allow you to check in through video cameras.
