Summer Safety Tips To Shield Your Lubbock Home And Family

Summer is known for nice weather, traveling, and creating lasting moments with loved ones. While you should venture out and enjoy life, you also should take steps to preserve those cherished moments. Explore our beneficial summer safety tips and see how a modern security system can help defend your family and your Lubbock home. Don’t let lapses in security dampen your fun in the sun!

Keep Windows And Doors Secure In Your Lubbock Home

You love the summer breeze drifting through your windows at night. Just don’t forget to secure them if you leave! Your advanced alarm system can help by telling you if an entry is unsecure. If you proceed to activate your alarm, but accidentally leave a window or door unsecured, your system will notify you of the security breach. You can have warnings delivered through your cell phone’s home security app regardless of where you are.

Maintain Protection When You’re Away

Countless families vacation during the summer, leaving homes unoccupied for many days at a time. A smart security system with remote accessibility will keep you connected, letting you see live surveillance camera footage or recorded files through your mobile device. You can also configure smart lights to switch on at certain times to make your residence appear lived in. If an urgent event occurs, your system will notify you and your monitoring team immediately.

Here are some other safety tips when travelling:

  • Avoid broadcasting your travels on online platforms. Even if you share to a private group, you don’t really know who will see the information. Instead, post photos of your trip after you return.
  • Ask a neighbor to monitor things and alert you if something suspicious takes place.
  • Make sure outdoor lights are set on a timer and turn on after nightfall and consider implementing motion-detecting lighting.

Protect Those Precious Moments With These Extra Summertime Safety Tips

Securing your home is vital, but you must also protect yourself and your family members during your time outdoors. You can do so by adhering to these additional summertime safety tips:

  • Supervise kids around fireworks, grills, pools, and busy streets
  • Safeguard your skin by applying sunscreen and reapply frequently, especially when swimming
  • Have someone in your household get trained in CPR
  • Always swim with a another person
  • Use life jackets when using watercraft and helmets when cycling
  • Be knowledgeable of poisonous plants and inform loved ones
  • Always tell somebody where you plan to go
  • Maintain enclosures around pools and secure gates when you’re not using them

Pools are one of the delights of summer, but they are also a well-documented hazard. Consider using smart locks on swimming pool gates to elevate security and safety.
