Summer Safety Tips To Shield Your Baton Rouge Home And Family

Summer is a time for outdoor adventures, pleasant weather, and making memories with friends and family. While you should head out and live your best life, you also should take precautions to preserve those precious moments. Check out our beneficial summer safety tips and learn how an advanced security system can help protect your Baton Rouge home and your loved ones. Don’t let lapses in security ruin your fun in the sun!

Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your Baton Rouge Home

You love the summer breeze coming through your windows during cooler evenings. Just don’t forget to shut and secure them if you depart! Your modern alarm system can assist by telling you if an entry point is open. If you proceed to arm your home, but accidentally leave a door or window ajar, your system will notify you of the oversight. You can have warnings delivered through your mobile device’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Stay Protected When You’re Away

Countless families travel during the summer months, leaving houses vacant for longer periods. An advanced security system with remote access will keep you in touch, allowing you to see live camera video or saved files through your cell phone. You might also set smart lights to illuminate at certain times to make your house appear occupied. If something occurs, your system will notify you and your monitoring team right away.

Here are a few other safety tips when leaving home:

  • Don’t broadcast your trip on social media. Even if you publish to a private group, you don’t really know who will view the information. Instead, display pictures of your trip once you get back.
  • Ask a neighbor to monitor things and alert you if anything suspicious arises.
  • Make sure outside lights are illuminated after dark and consider using motion-sensing lighting.

Have Fun In The Sun With These Extra Summertime Safety Tips

Protecting your home is vital, but you also need to protect yourself and your family members when enjoying time outdoors. All you need to do is follow these summertime safety tips:

  • Watch little ones around pools, hot grills, fireworks, and busy streets
  • Safeguard your skin by applying sunscreen and reapply frequently, especially when swimming
  • Have an adult in your family get certified in CPR
  • Always swim with a friend
  • Use helmets when biking, and life jackets when boating
  • Be able to recognize harmful plants and teach children
  • Always tell someone where you plan to go
  • Maintain fencing around pools and lock gates when you’re not using them

Swimming pools are one of the pleasures of the summertime, but they also are a well-known danger. Consider installing smart locks on swimming pool gates to enhance your safety and security.
