    Did you know that a house fire is one of the country's leading causes of death? Though fire safety regulations have been steadily improving over the last few decades, and more attention is being paid to this danger, there are steps that you must take as a homeowner to keep your family safe from a fire. Here are 7 ways to assess the fire risk of your home:
     
    1) Does your home have fire alarms and smoke detectors? Are they in working order? When was the last time you changed the batteries? Though local regulations about smoke and carbon monoxide detectors vary, any homeowner who cares about their safety should install them. These alarms won't stop a fire from starting, but they will alert you to its presence, giving you time to get out safely.
     
    2) Do you have fire extinguishers in your home? You should have extinguishers in key areas of the home, including the kitchen, garage, and bedroom, as these are the three most common areas where fires start in the house. If you don't have them, don't know how to use them, or don't know how old they are, it's time for new fire extinguishers.
     
    3) Do you follow kitchen safety guidelines? Do you ever leave a pot unattended on a stove, or allow your kids or teens to cook unsupervised? Do you know what to do if kitchen grease catches on fire? Though you probably don't think about these things when you're in your kitchen every day, they are guidelines you should consider to prevent kitchen fires.
     
    4) Is the wiring in your home up to code? In old homes, particularly, wiring is one of the most common causes of house fires. Faulty wiring - whether it's old, not built to code, or installed incorrectly - should be fixed immediately to ensure the safety of your family and your home. If in doubt, have it inspected.
     
    5) Do you have enough potential exits? Escaping from a burning building might mean exiting through a window or another exit not commonly used. Are these areas blocked by furniture? Can you easily get to the ground from the exit, or do you need fire ladders? These ladders are stored in a roll, and attach to the window frame, unrolling to provide an escape in the event of a fire.
     
    6) Do you have a way to alert fire responders about who lives in your home? There are stickers available to post on your window that will alert fire rescuers to the presence of children, disabled relatives, or pets living in the home. These stickers make it much easier for fire responders to do their job and get your family out safely.
     
    7) Is your home built to withstand a fire? Thoroughly check new construction for fire safety. Whether you are having your house remodeled or are buying a new home, ask these critical questions before moving in.The wiring, materials, and construction methods must be built to code, strong enough to withstand easily catching on fire.
     
    Though you probably don't want to think about a fire burning down everything you own, the possibility does exist. That is why it is so important for you to take these steps to reduce your risk of a house fire, and to keep your family as safe as possible if a fire does start.

    Article Title: How to Protect Your Personal Belongings

    Today, many people carry around valuable possessions without giving it a second thought. Do you carry around your iPhone, iPod, and several credit cards? You probably carry it around in an expensive-looking handbag, too. Take a second to think about the message you're sending thieves. Cash in your wallet or purse, credit cards and designer sunglasses, laptops and Smartphones are just a few of the things you carry around each day. If even one of these items were to be stolen, it would be sorely missed as you try to go about your day-to-day routines without it.
     
    The first step to reducing your risk is to seriously consider what you take with you each day. Though each one of these items might seem like an essential, police advise you to only take what you absolutely need. If you're going somewhere where your items might be in particular danger, such as a night of bar-hopping or an evening at a crowded concert, unload your purse and wallet beforehand so that you're not taking all of your most valuable possessions with you. For example, take one credit card, your ID, and minimal cash, rather than the iPod, designer sunglasses, and a stack of credit cards that you might normally be carrying.
     
    Always be aware of the location of your purse or wallet. Never leave your purse in a grocery cart or sitting on a table. This is one of the easiest crimes for someone to pull off if you're oblivious to what's going on. A lot of times, the thief will be long gone by the time you try to retrieve your purse. The same goes for your laptop – never leave it on the table at a coffee shop to get a drink or use the restroom.
     
    Keep your cell phone out of sight, especially if you have a fancy Smart Phone. A thief could make a quick $100 just from stealing your phone. There has recently been a rash of crime related to thieves asking for the time, with the intent of judging the value of your phone when you pull it out of your pocket. Never leave your cell phone out in plain sight, in your car or in a gym locker room. Do not take it out of your pocket or bag unless you actually need to use it.
     
    Finally, keep your receipts for everything you own. Write down the serial numbers, and engrave your name onto small electronics. This will aid in its quick recovery if a thief ever steals it. An engraved name will immediately catch thieves who try to pawn your belongings. Knowing the serial numbers and having a way to identify your personal electronics can mean the difference between getting your possessions back and having to replace them after a theft. Otherwise, there is nothing to distinguish your iPod or digital camera from all of the other electronics recovered by police.
     
    Today, far too many people carry around large quantities of cash, not to mention valuable electronics, everywhere they go throughout the day. Stop to think about whether this is really necessary, and what you can do to keep these possessions from becoming stolen property.

    Every type of house poses its own home security challenges. Protecting an urban high-rise, for example, is much different than securing a rural farmstead. Manufactured homes are some of the most difficult to protect, though it is certainly not impossible. These homes are at risk of a variety of dangers, from crime to natural disasters.
     
    First, it is important to recognize the safety challenges posed by living in a manufactured home. One of the most obvious concerns is that many are built in similar designs, so a criminal could become very familiar with the interior layout of your home. There are also certain features of mobile and prefabricated homes that makes them more vulnerable to a home invasion. Depending on the manufacturer, they may not be built as sturdily as other houses. The front door, for example, may be easier to kick in on a manufactured home than one built on site. Consider replacing your front door with a sturdier one if the one you have is weak enough to be kicked in during a burglary attempt.
     
    If you live in a manufactured home, take the necessary steps to mitigate both of these risks. By installing door and window alarms and security cameras, you can make it less likely that a criminal will attempt to break inside, though without such devices your home might be an attractive target. There are many low-cost home security devices available to you for the protection of your home, whether it is a manufactured home or any other style.
     
    A burglary isn't the only thing you must watch out for as the occupant of a manufactured homes. These homes also tend to be at higher risk of a fire. The materials are typically both extremely flammable and extremely toxic when burned. If you live in such a home, it is extremely important to follow fire safety guidelines. Avoid overloading electrical outlets or leaving space heaters unattended, and don't forget to install smoke alarms and fire extinguishers.
     
    Many manufactured homes use gas for heating or cooking. Not only can this start a fire, but it also poses the danger of inhalation. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate your home, turn off the gas, and call the gas company immediately.
     
    Weather is another risk for manufactured homes. During a flood, the home may sustain more damage because of its less secure foundation. During the winter, the pipes have a tendency to freeze, since your manufactured home may not have as much insulation. Both of these incidents can be compounded if you don't have homeowner's insurance on your mobile or prefabricated home. Insist on having your manufactured home built to the highest standards so that it can withstand the extreme weather conditions that are possible in your area of the country.
     
    To stay safe from these risks, take the necessary steps to protect your investment. Build home security into your home at every chance you get, from installing door and window alarms to having the wiring and construction inspected before moving into your new manufactured home.

    Did you know that more than 75 percent of vehicle owners in the US have done nothing to prevent the theft of their car? Simply locking your car doors is not enough to keep a criminal from stealing your car. In order to prevent car theft, you must install car security devices and use them regularly. Here are a few of the options available to keep thieves from getting into your vehicle and stealing your belongings or driving away in your car:
     
    Car alarms are some of the most common security devices found in vehicles today. While most people groan at the thought of car alarms because they are tired of alarms being triggered falsely in the middle of the night, in fact this can be a very useful theft deterrent. No thief wants to be caught, and they will turn and run as the alarm blares, even if it's likely no one will come to see what triggered the alarm.
     
    If you want the features of an alarm system but don't actually want to go through the expense or hassle of installing an alarm, or are afraid of false alarms waking you in the middle of the night, consider an auto theft deterrent light. This flashing simulated alarm light will look like a car alarm to anyone who peers inside your vehicle, but won't actually go off if someone breaks into your car. Still, the flashing light is enough to deter most criminals, who will move on in search of an easier target.
     
    Steering wheel locks, such as "The Club," are another useful car security device. These long metal bars lock onto the steering wheel, preventing a thief from being able to turn the steering wheel. Steering wheel alarms, a similar type of device, beep loudly if someone tries to turn the wheel without first disarming the alarm. Again, both of these can be seen from outside the car, greatly lowering the possibility of someone trying to steal your car.
     
    Other car security devices are meant to make driving away harder if a thief does break into your car. If a thief is already inside, an ignition immobilizer will prevent the car from starting unless they know how to find and disable this hidden device. If the car isn't running, the thief can't drive it away. Often known as "kill switches" or "starter disablers," these high-tech gadgets are on the cutting edge of auto security.
     
    If the thief is able to get away in your car, make sure they don't get far. Tracking devices, sold pre-installed on many new vehicles, can also be purchased for older cars. These GPS-based services can help the police recover your stolen car quickly.
     
    Car security devices are some of the most important accessories for your car. These devices allow you to stop worrying about the security of your vehicle and the belongings stored in it. When a thief sees that you have some type of car security device installed, he or she will likely move onto a vehicle that is easier to steal. Your car is probably one of your most important, not to mention expensive, assets. Take the necessary steps to protect it before it is too late.

    Article Title: How to Handle Squatters in Your Family Neighborhood

    *********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
     
    Due to the recent economic crisis, more and more homes are sitting empty. Whether due to a foreclosure or a homeowner who has moved on without finding a buyer for their home, this fact means growing opportunities for squatters to move into once quiet and secure residential neighborhoods. Though you may think of squatters as only a problem of urban slums, recently there have been instances of squatters taking up residence in million-dollar homes.
     
    In many new areas where this had never before been a concern, neighbors have begun noticing this strange new phenomenon. If you're unfamiliar with the problem, a 'squatter' is anyone who moves into an empty or abandoned building without the acceptance of the owners. Whether in a business or home, these squatters can live with a roof over their heads for months or even years without being disturbed or kicked out by the rightful owners, who may not even live in the same state as the property.
     
    The problem with squatters is that they have no incentive to care for the property. They pay no rent, mortgages, or other expenses related to the upkeep of the home. Often, squatters mean drugs and other vices, not to mention graffiti and property crime. Often, these activities spread into the neighboring area, creating problems not only for the homeowner but also for the neighbors. Squatting is a serious issue, and not one that you should turn a blind eye to. Though you may feel bad that the occupants have nowhere else to go, they are committing a crime simply by staying there, and often bring other crimes to the area.
     
    What can you do about this problem? First, if you are a landlord, check on all of your properties frequently. In just weeks, a tenant could skip out on rent and squatters could move in, and no one would be the wiser. If you live in another state, hire a property manager to keep an eye on your rentals. If you have been notified that someone may be squatting in one of your properties, call the police immediately. If the problem goes on for too long, they could gain legal title to your property by virtue of occupying it, through a process known as adverse possession.
     
    If you must leave your property vacant, equip it with door and window alarms, surveillance cameras, and other devices to discourage these behaviors. These also make good investments for surrounding property owners, whether they suspect squatters or not, as they will discourage a range of criminal activities in the neighborhood.
     
    What can you do if it's not your property that is lying vacant, but a neighbor's? If you suspect squatters, contact the police immediately. Signs can include someone living in a home you know to be vacant, or people living in a home with no utilities. Never approach a suspected squatter by yourself, as they may be dangerous. As with any suspected criminals in your neighborhood, it's best to let the police handle it.

    Article Title: Myths About Protecting Your Home

    Far too many homeowners put off installing door and window alarms, surveillance cameras, and other home security devices because they don't think they need to. The fact is, today there are home security options for any home and any budget. You have no excuse not to protect your home and your family! Here are the most prevalent myths when it comes to protecting your home:
     
    1. Only homeowners in wealthy neighborhoods need to use these devices. When it comes down to it, any home is vulnerable to a break-in, whether you live in a bad neighborhood or a gated community. Effective security devices like door and window alarms or dummy cameras will protect any home.
     
    2. You don't have anything worth protecting. While you may not have a big-screen TV, you probably do have a few nice pieces of jewelry upstairs in your bedroom, a computer in the living room, and expensive tools in the garage. Plus, many of today's criminals are after more than your belongings – they will go through your papers in an attempt to steal your identity. The truth is, any home has something of value to criminals.
     
    3. Home alarm systems are expensive and a waste of money. While whole-house alarm systems can be pricy depending on the size and layout of your home, there are plenty of other options for protecting your home. Setting up such security in your home doesn't have to be expensive, making it a great option even for those who don't have a mansion to protect. Door and window alarms, dummy surveillance cameras, and other devices can be installed for well under $100. These devices don't require paying a monthly fee to an alarm company. Plus, think about the risk of not protecting your home – is having to replace all of your belongings really worth skimping on home security? Your security should never be measured in terms of money.
     
    4. An alarm system will constantly be set off accidentally. While this may have been common years ago, today's sophisticated systems can tell the difference between a real threat and your pet cat. Even motion detector alarms are available in pet-friendly models so that you can avoid accidentally setting it off.
     
    5. Security devices are hard to install, and require special knowledge and tools. In fact, today's wireless alarms and cameras are easier than ever to install. There are no wires to run, and no holes to cut in your wall. DIY enthusiasts will find it easy to install wireless home security features. Improving your home security is a great weekend project!
     
    6. A blaring alarm won't be enough to scare away a criminal. While most people have become accustomed to car alarms blaring in the night, the fact is, such sirens are still effective. No criminal wants to be caught, whether breaking into a home or trying to steal a car. In fact, putting up signs that say your home is protected by alarms has been shown to deter criminals even when no such system was actually installed. Criminals won't take the chance of being caught on your property, and would rather break into an unprotected home.

    Article Title: Bachelor Pad Home Security

    *********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
     
    The Bachelor Pad – every man's dream – could turn into a nightmare faster than you ever imagined possible if you neglect to handle important security concerns from the outset. Having a bachelor pad isn't just about fun and games, watching sports on TV and enjoying pizza and beer every night. In fact, living on your own can actually become more complicated than sharing the space with roommates, since you're responsible for taking care of everything in the household, including home safety.
     
    A Bachelor's Pad means that you're living on your own, and you have no one to watch out for your safety but yourself. Male bravado means you might feel like you can always take care of yourself, but what happens if an armed burglar breaks in? Don't let your pride prevent you from taking the necessary steps to protect your safety before it comes down to fighting back against an intruder. While owning a bachelor's pad can be an exciting time in any young man's life, it's also a moment that requires careful consideration.
     
    If you are fortunate enough to live by yourself in a swanky bachelor pad, don't just equip your home with the latest entertainment systems. While you're at it, make sure to install security cameras and outdoor lighting. These technological gadgets might not be as exciting as the latest video gaming system or high-definition TV, but they are certainly just as important for your bachelor pad. If you do opt for a fancy TV, situate it so that your new purchase can't be spotted from the street, or your bachelor pad is sure to catch the attention of neighborhood criminals.
     
    Living alone, you can easily get caught up in the excitement, forgetting to consider how your actions might impact your safety. Do you go out bar-hopping, returning home in the early hours of the morning? If so, do you always remember to lock the doors and turn on your home security alarm? What about throwing parties in your bachelor pad – do you always know all of the guests?
     
    Now, these concerns don't mean that you have to tone down your lifestyle immensely. It just means that you must pay attention to the risks and do what you can to reduce them. For example, make a point to get to know anyone who arrives at your home for a party. Don't leave your door open while walking the dog in the morning, or unlocked when you make a beer run. These might seem like harmless security lapses, but it only takes seconds for a burglar to slip inside.
     
    Guys living alone, no matter their age or independence level, should develop their own security methods to keep them safe while living in a bachelor pad. Check in from time to time with family members or friends, and don't go out drinking alone. When you are out partying, pay attention to how much you're drinking and who you're with to avoid placing yourself in harm's way. Even the toughest guy must pay attention to his lifestyle to make sure it's not putting him in unnecessary harm.

    Article Title: Law Enforcement and Pepper Spray

    *********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
     
    Although today pepper spray is wildly popular as a self defense device, originally the use of pepper spray was restricted to law enforcement personnel. In fact, The NYPD and the FBI were some of the first agencies to adopt the use of pepper spray, in 1991. After this date, more and more police forces began adding this useful product to their standard arsenal. Today, nearly all law enforcement personnel in the country, and also across the world, carry pepper spray.
     
    For law enforcement, pepper spray presents a nonlethal and harmless way to subdue attackers. Though police officers do have guns at their disposal, in many cases the situation does not warrant potentially lethal harm. Pepper spray, though it will take anyone down for at least fifteen minutes, leaves no lasting side effects. When you consider that most police officers' other choices are a gun or a baton, you can easily see why pepper spray fulfills a critical need in their arsenal of tools.
     
    Its effectiveness is universal; unlike some other products, pepper spray is not affected by the weight of the target or whether they have consumed drugs or alcohol. It requires very little skill to use, yet will effectively disable anyone long enough for you to get away, or for a police officer to complete their arrest.
     
    Another benefit of pepper spray for law enforcement personnel is its ability to control multiple suspects or attackers. Unlike a gun, baton, or stun gun, pepper spray can be used against several targets simultaneously, making it ideal for controlling a crowd or a group of attackers. A fogger pepper spray, in particular, is an excellent choice for those who may be confronting groups of violent attackers. While this is essential for law enforcement agents who may come up against a street riot or other large and violent crowds, this fact is just an important for those who are worried about being attacked by a gang or a group of muggers.
     
    Many of the same reasons why pepper spray is popular with law enforcement makes this tool an excellent choice for civilian use. It is nonlethal, so you don't have to worry about hurting someone while trying to protect yourself. It can be used if you are attacked by more than one person. And perhaps best of all, it can be used effectively with very little training or experience, unlike some other self defense products. Though you might think that something used by law enforcement probably requires a great deal of training, in fact pepper spray works just like an aerosol can of paint or hairspray.
     
    Often, the very same concentration of pepper spray that police officers carry is available to the general public. Get yourself some pepper spray, just like the police officers use, so that you can protect yourself. With crime rates increasing by the year, you can't rely on the police to protect you. Though protecting you is their responsibility, they can't be everywhere at once. If someone starts attacking you, you don't have minutes to wait for the sirens to approach.

    Your older relatives may fondly remember that decades ago, home security meant nothing more than locking the door when you left. In fact, you yourself may even remember leaving your doors unlocked in the quiet suburban neighborhood where you grew up. Though in the not-too-distant past this was very common, times have certainly changed. Gone are the days of playing on tree-lined streets without worrying about a child abduction, or leaving the front door wide open without fearing a burglary.
     
    The "good old days" are gone forever, and with them the ability to ignore home security. Whether you live in an urban apartment, in an idyllic suburban neighborhood, or even on a rural farm, you must take steps to protect the security of your home and your family. Today, this goes way beyond the lock on your front door. It is no longer enough to just lock your door when you leave the home. In fact, you should be considering the security of your home, not to mention your personal security, every day. Make home security the top priority in your busy lifestyle – the consequences for not paying attention to your security can be devastating.
     
    Luckily, even in the modern and dangerous world, there are steps you can take to protect your family. Use the many technological innovations in home security, from surveillance cameras to wireless alarms, to watch over your home. Security-minded homeowners undoubtedly realize that the ways they protected their homes decades ago will no longer suffice. However, technology has certainly kept up with this need, providing ways to protect your home and your family.
     
    An astounding array of home security gadgets has replaced the method of locking your front door and relying on Fido to act as a guard dog. On the other hand, you don't need to get eye and fingerprint scanners, or other high-tech security methods, to keep your family safe. Still, wireless, electronic, and password-protected gadgets in a variety of styles protect your home and your family in high-tech ways.
     
    You may be thinking that these high-tech gadgets come with a high pricetag, but this doesn't have to be so. Even with increasing attention on home security over the past few decades, outfitting your home with the latest devices can be done on almost any budget. A few wireless door and window alarms, for example, go a long way towards protecting your home. So, too, would a canister of pepper spray or a stun gun. If you're looking to make your dollar go further when planning your home security purchases, rest assured that today you can find advanced home security methods that go way beyond the type of home security that was common decades ago.
     
    Just because today's lifestyle is faster-paced doesn't mean that you can't rely on your neighbors. In fact, today it is more important than ever to get to know those in your neighborhood. A neighborhood watch program is a great way to band together to watch out for each other's property. In an urban setting, such as a secured apartment buildings, residents should look out for each other by refusing to let people inside who they don't know.

    Survival kits are meant to get you and your family through the critical first days following a disaster. Such kits allow your family to survive in the absence of running water, electricity, and other basic needs that most of us take for granted. Most experts advise families to keep a survival kit that allows your family to survive at least 72 hours, or 3 days, without outside assistance. Others advise up to ten days of supplies. Typically, a survival kit is meant to cover six basic needs that will arise following any type of disaster, from a hurricane to an earthquake:
     
    Food - Your family's emergency kit must contain enough non-perishable food to last three days. Don't forget a can opener and eating utensils, too. You will have far more energy, and be much more capable of keeping your family safe, if you have enough to eat.
     
    Water - In an emergency, you can't count on water supply systems to work. Fresh drinking water is one of your most important survival needs. Iodine tablets or a small water purifier should be in every survival kit. If you have the room, several gallons of bottled water will ensure that you have enough to meet your family's immediate needs. Survival guidelines call for 3 quarts of water per person per day.
     
    Shelter and warmth - Pack two sets of warm clothing for each family member into the survival kit. You'll also need to pack supplies to make your home habitable and warm. This includes several matches, a fire starter, and space blankets. Even if you live in an urban area, you may need them to keep warm. If you're worried about structural damage to your home, or need to plan for cases in which you must leave the home, pack duct tape and a tarp into your emergency kit.
     
    Health - Basic medical supplies are an absolute necessity in a survival kit, because the disaster itself may injure you. It's also important to pack necessary medications, along with hygiene supplies such as hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and toothbrushes.
     
    Safety - One of the most important items in your survival kit is a flashlight, because you might be spending quite a bit of time in the dark. It's also important to realize that in emergency situations, your family's safety could be endangered. Looting, as well as desperate people and animals in search of food and shelter, are just some of the dangers out there. Consider putting pepper spray or other self defense devices in your emergency survival kit to keep these threats at bay.
     
    Extras - The best kits use your family's strengths and abilities, taking into account any weaknesses, to make you the most efficient. For example, if you have young kids, don't forget diapers, toys, and other necessities. Those with pets should include pet food in their survival kit. A good survival kit includes basic items that have many uses, such as rope, garbage bags, and a knife.
     
    Before you purchase a survival kit or emergency necessities, first consider the types of disasters most likely to befall your region. If the most likely disaster is a hurricane, your emergency plans will be different than those for living in an earthquake zone. Still, most of the supplies you'll need will be the same.

    Discovering that a family member has Alzheimer's can be difficult to accept. This disease is difficult to deal with because it can change the person's behaviors and personality drastically. If your family member has been diagnosed with this disease, pay attention to their home security to keep them safe. Though you may not need to make all of these changes right away, it is important to understand what you may be dealing with when caring for a person with Alzheimer's.
     
    Whether you have Alzheimers, are trying to protect a family member or friend with the disease, or are preparing for a relative with Alzheimers to move into your home, it requires careful consideration with regards to home security and safety. Follow these tips to make the home safer for those with Alzheimer's:
     
    Understand the disease - Families with relatives who have Alzeimer's must understand the behaviors that they may notice as the disease progresses. Understanding the disease allows you to maintain the safety and comfort of everyone in the home. Those with Alzheimer's typically become confused, disoriented, frightened, or frustrated. Often, these symptoms increase in frequency over time.
     
    Prevent slips and falls - Provide adequate lighting in and around the home. This is especially important near stairways and in hallways, where falls are more common and visibility tends to be poor. Rearrange furniture to reduce the possibility of slips or trips. Keep the home free of clutter and of small furniture such as ottomans or stools. Add safety handles and railings, especially in the bathroom and along stairways.
     
    Remove household dangers - Preparing for an Alzeimer's patient has been compared to childproofing a home. Remove or lock up dangerous chemicals, medicines, household cleaners, tools, and weapons. Alzheimer's patients are known to rummage through drawers or hide their belongings in strange places. You may wish to install cabinet locks, such as those commonly used for childproofing. If you notice missing household items, from food to clothing to decor, your relative may be hiding them around the house.
     
    Prevent wandering - One of the best-known symptoms of Alzeimer's is wandering. Your relative may wander off for several reasons, including confusion and boredom. If wandering out of the home is a problem, install door alarms or motion detectors that chime when someone crosses their path that you'll know when your relative is trying to leave. These devices are also essential home security devices as they will alert you when an intruder is trying to enter.
     
    Hide a key - Those with Alzheimer's have been known to lock out their loved ones due to confusion. Keep a spare key in a disguised rock or thermometer so that you can get back into the house quickly.
     
    When changing your home to improve the safety and security of your loved one, you may not need to make all of these changes right away. Observe the behavior of your loved one to know when it is necessary to take these steps. Although difficult to accept, your loved one's safety may require these changes.

    Article Title: Protecting Your Cabin

    A cabin in the woods can be a peaceful escape from everyday life – that is, until someone breaks in. Security in your cabin is a difficult task, especially if you're "off the grid," or without electricity, phone service, and other utilities most people take for granted. Whether you're trying to protect a seasonal vacation spot or you live in the cabin full-time, security is a must. Though you can't install a whole-house alarm system, there are plenty of ways to protect your off-the-grid cabin.
     
    If you have not yet purchased or built your cabin, you should be aware that location plays a role in home security, whether in an urban environment or in the middle of a forest. You may want to consider security when selecting a location for your hideaway. Look for a location that no one will stumble on accidentally. The safest cabin is one far away from main roads. Secured gates or private access roads are both good ideas when building a cabin.
     
    The design of your cabin also impacts its safety. A fancy cabin, with all of the latest amenities, is much more likely to be broken into during the offseason than one that looks as though it hides nothing of value. If you must keep luxuries, like snowmobiles and four-wheelers, at the property, do your best to store them securely. Don't just leave them in a shed with the door unlocked, or there's a chance they will be long gone by the time you return.
     
    If your cabin is used seasonally, seal up everything when you leave. Consider putting boards over windows and doors. Do not give intruders an easy way in. Your out-of-the-way cabin is already an attractive target because it's far away from prying eyes, so don't give burglars an extra reason to break in. Anyone who finds your cabin out here will know that no one will watch them break in, so your only hope is to make it not worth the time or effort.
     
    When it comes to home security in your cabin, it's important to realize the types of intruders you might be up against. Besides the outdoorsmen who stumble onto your cabin from a trail or road, there may also be teens looking for a place to crash, especially if your cabin is near a main road. Don't keep alcohol in your cabin; some owners have even gone so far as to post a sign stating "no alcohol here" to keep partiers away. Also, not all intruders are human. Pests like rats, mice, and bugs are attracted to warmth and food. Never keep food, even small crumbs, in the house while you're not away.
     
    Finally, there are some home security devices that can be used for off-the-grid homes. Look towards heavy-duty deadbolts, battery-operated door and window alarms, dog-barking alarms, or even surveillance cameras that run on battery power. If you're looking for the best protection while you're enjoying your cabin, these security devices are a must-have. They don't require electrical power and take just a few minutes to install, making them an ideal choice for protecting an off-the-grid cabin.

    Anyone with children surely realizes that the time will come when it's time to trust their children to stay home alone. This is always a nerve-wracking time for parents, and it can also be a very touchy subject- some parents find it acceptable to let their young children come home from school alone, while others wouldn't dream of leaving their high-school students home alone for an afternoon.
     
    The decision to stop hiring a babysitter when you'll be out of the house is one that must involve careful consideration. There is no set age when a child becomes responsible enough – so you must consider your child's responsibility level. Then, too, is the responsibility level of his or her friends. Do you trust them to behave themselves when home alone, or will they pressure your son or daughter into bad behaviors? Do the parents of your child's friends already allow them to stay home alone? This might factor into your decision, too.
     
    Making the choice to allow your child to stay home alone isn't just about your child. It's also about the neighborhood in which you live and the security of your home. If you live in a safe neighborhood where parents routinely entrust their kids with a lot of responsibility, you might feel better about leaving your kids home alone.
     
    Of course, it's also a decision about money. Maybe you must work long hours, or can't afford daycare or a babysitter. In this situation, you might find yourself leaving the kids home alone more than you ordinarily would. While this is certainly understandable, it is also important to set aside the resources needed to make your home as safe as possible while you're away.
     
    There's nothing wrong with worrying about your kids when they are home by themselves, but you can help yourself feel more at ease by installing simple home security devices. Outdoor lighting, door and window alarms, and surveillance cameras will all make your home safer, and not just when your kids are home alone. Consider a "nanny cam" or hidden camera, which can transmit a real-time view of your home over the internet to your computer when you're away from home.
     
    Home security is as much about information as it is about security devices. Talk with your child to make sure they feel comfortable staying home by themselves. Make sure they know how to get inside, and what to do in case of an emergency - from an intruder to a fire. If your kids are coming home from school to an empty house, leave a spare key in a disguised rock or thermometer so that they can get inside if they've forgotten theirs. Leave the phone number of a trusted neighbor, and tell them how to contact you if they feel the need.
     
    Finally, establish house rules with your child. Can they invite friends over? Throw a party while you're away? Watch TV and eat junk food all day? Besides outlining acceptable behaviors while they're home alone, make sure that you reinforce the importance of using door and window locks, and arming the alarm system.

    Article Title: Protecting Your Safety When Leaving an Abusive Partner

    Have you recently made the important decision to leave an abusive partner? This wise step can seem like a giant leap into the unknown. Besides the emotional aspects of leaving a bad relationship, there are also safety considerations. You don't know how your partner will react, and there is a chance leaving will put you in harm's way, making this step a bit scary. It is important to take the necessary steps to protect your safety, both before and after you leave the relationship, as you develop a plan for starting your new life.
     
    At Work - Let the security staff in your building know about the situation. Provide a picture of your abuser so that they can keep him out of the office. You may also want to let your supervisor, manager, or HR advisor know of the situation so that they can help to protect you. Ask a coworker to escort you to your car or bus in case your abuser is waiting outside to confront you. You may want to ask for a change in work hours, and take different routes to work, so that your partner cannot find you there.
     
    At Home - Let your landlord and your neighbors know that your partner no longer lives there, and that they should call police if they see him there. Living in the same residence you shared with your abuser is one of the most dangerous parts of leaving an abusive relationship. Change the locks right away, and install security features such as door and window alarms and surveillance cameras.
     
    Personal Safety - Your safety may be in jeopardy not just at work and at home, but anywhere you go throughout the day. Prepare yourself with a canister of pepper spray, a stun gun, or a personal alarm. Consider self defense training to give you the confidence to stand up to your abuser. Do not be afraid to call the police if you feel threatened or in danger – remember, they are there to protect you. You don't have to go through this alone.
     
    Legal Help - File for a protection order or restraining order so that your abuser cannot legally contact you. Keep a copy of the order with you at all times in case your abuser does confront you. Call the police right away if this happens, even if you feel relatively safe at the moment. If you have children, fight for sole custody of them, and then inform the school and other caregivers that you are the only one with permission to pick them up.
     
    Statistically, domestic violence occurs in one out of six relationships. It is extremely likely that you, or someone you are close to, has been or will be subjected to domestic violence. Though this problem is often kept quiet, in cases of abuse it is critical to protect the personal safety of the abused, even for years after they leave the relationship. In fact, the most dangerous time for an abused women is after she leaves the relationship.

    Moving into your first home is a very exciting time. You're done paying rent on a house you don't own and don't have to live with landlords who fail to fix the property as quickly as you'd like. Still, owning your own home does come with some important considerations. Not only will you be responsible for doing all of your own home maintenance from now on, it's also your responsibility to ensure that your home is as safe as possible. No longer can you rely on a landlord installing security features to protect their investment- it's your investment, now!
     
    Nothing feels like being a grown-up quite like buying your first home, but the process involves a lot of work and stress. The work isn't done once the papers are signed and you get the keys- you'll still have plenty of home maintenance projects ahead of you. In your efforts to fix up your first place, don't overlook the need to improve your home security. Though it may not be as glamorous or exciting as painting the living room or installing a deck, these are essential upgrades that should be made by any new homeowner.
     
    Security considerations even start before you get moved in and unpacked. Before you even move your possessions in, change the locks. You never know who could have a key to the old one. The moving process itself is essential to your security, because you don't want to give criminals too much information about who you are or what you have. If you have expensive electronics or other large and valuable possessions, make sure they're covered, either with moving pads or in cardboard boxes, so that they can't be seen coming into your home. If you're buying new electronics for your new house, don't put the boxes out by the trash. Your neighbors aren't the only ones paying attention to you on moving day; professional criminals may also be on the lookout.
     
    Always consider the differences in security between your old home and the new one. You may have been used to living in a secure apartment building or one with a doorman. Though these aren't necessarily any safer than living in your own house, the change does require some adjustment. Your new home may pose unique security challenges that you're not used to. For example, if you have a pool, make sure that you install pool security alarms and instruct any children about pool safety.
     
    As soon as you move in, make an effort to meet your new neighbors. Not only can this help you adjust to life in your new community, it's also an important move for home security. If your neighbors know you, they are more likely to keep an eye on your house and to do something if they see someone suspicious around your home.
     
    When it comes to home security, the best thing to do when getting settled into your new home is to walk around it, inside and out, making a detailed security list. Do you need to replace aging windows that could be pried open by an intruder? Is there a dark corner by the back door that could benefit from outdoor lighting? Make sure that there are smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and check their batteries as soon as you move in. Now is also a great time to place fire extinguishers and emergency kits around the home.
     
    Regardless of your home's layout, always add door and window alarms, especially on the ground floor. Though you might think that an older home that never had a whole house security system installed can't become any more secure, these stand-alone alarms are easy to install in an afternoon and will instantly improve the security of your new home.

    When buying a house, whether it's your first home or you're looking for an upgrade, there are always dozens of things to think about. How many bedrooms and bathrooms does your family need? Do you like the layout of the living room? Is the backyard big enough? One of the most often overlooked characteristics of potential homes is the security, both of the surrounding neighborhood and of the home itself. This is one of the characteristics that is likely to impact your day-to-day lifestyle in the home, and it should certainly be taken into consideration before you make an offer to buy a house.
     
    Above all, one of your top concerns when house shopping should be the safety of the neighborhood. Although crime can happen anywhere, there are clearly varying crime rates throughout the world. Look for somewhere you'll feel safe walking down the road or taking your kids to the neighborhood park, as this can alleviate some of the concern you'll feel for the safety of your house. Peruse local crime rates to find out just how safe the neighborhood is, and don't forget to stop by at least once after dark. When driving through the area, look for Neighborhood Watch signs, which indicate that your potential neighbors are security-minded.
     
    Far too many people think that just because they don't have toddlers means that they can ignore security factors and "take care of themselves" in a dangerous neighborhood. Whether you have young kids at home or are on your own, security should still be a consideration. Security considerations aside, location is always one of the most important features when comparing real estate, as it will influence the "feel" of the area and the amenities within walking or driving range.
     
    If you're looking for a home in a community that you don't already know well, look up the crime statistics before you get too far into the home buying process. If you find a "great" home in a neighborhood that does not seem to be safe, it's too good to be true. Do not compromise on this factor. Look for a home that has the features you want, at a price you can afford, in a neighborhood you'll feel comfortable living in.
     
    Look through each home you're considering with an eye towards safety. Does it have an alarm system already in place? Of course, you can always install one later, or use stand-alone alarms and cameras to create your own system. Still, this should be factored into your home buying decisions, as the presence or lack of such security features will impact how safe you feel in the home. Also look for locks on the doors. A home should have a sturdy deadbolt that securely latches. If the home has more than a couple of bolts or locks on the door, this may be a red flag. The previous occupants could simply have been very security minded, or it could be a sign that the home was previously targeted by criminals, and it may indicate a need to re-evaluate the safety of the area.
     
    Though most home shoppers do their homework, it's easy to get distracted by the breakfast nook, the rosebushes in the yard, or the paint color in the master bedroom, overlooking the most important aspect of any house: home security. Though you should certainly enter the home-buying process with a wish-list of essential amenities, don't let your "dream home" cloud your judgment about safety.

    Article Title: Is a Guard Dog Right For You?

    Should you get a guard dog? You may be noticing that many people, both in the city and in the country, keep guard dogs both as pets and as protection against home invasions. A guard dog can physically attack an intruder, or bark and growl until they turn away in favor of a more welcoming house to break into. At first glance, a guard dog may seem to be the perfect solution for a family that is looking into getting a pet and also wants to increase their home security. However, if you are considering this route, be sure to weigh the pros and cons before committing yourself to raising a dog.
     
    One thing to understand about guard dogs is that they require specialized training. While many dog owners can handle basic obedience training, a true guard dog must be trained by a professional. Some even recommend sending your dog to a specialized kennel rather than keeping him at home during the training period. Having a guard dog means more than choosing a breed of dog known for being "guard dogs." Your dog must be trained to exhibit the proper behavior towards you, towards friendly people, and towards those you want to keep off your property.
     
    It is also important to realize the potential dangers of having a guard dog, especially if you have children or other pets. Today the news is filled with stories of pit bulls and other "mean" breeds who have escaped their yard and hurt a child or another animal. Many breeds known to be good guard dogs are not necessarily the type of dog that would be a good addition to your family. They could exhibit aggressive behaviors even towards their owners. Even the best-trained dog is not 100% tame, and this is something you must consider before buying a dog to protect your family.
     
    Whether you are considering a guard dog or just a family pet, it is important to realize that raising a dog takes time and energy. Dogs need food, water, shelter, and exercise. If you leave for extended periods, your guard dog can't stay there to guard your house- he'll need to go to a kennel that will take care of him. Considering that many burglars wait until the family's vacation time to strike their home, this is a major downside of relying on guard dogs as home security.
     
    If you're not sure if you're up to the challenge of keeping a guard dog, there are alternatives. Barking dog alarms have the recorded sound of a dog barking. These alarms, most of which work using motion detectors, will start "barking" when a criminal approaches. Virtually indistinguishable from the growl of a real guard dog, these effective devices require none of the care of a real guard dog, and with the same benefit. Another option is to place "caution: guard dog" signs around your property. Even if you don't have a dog, this is often enough to scare criminals away. Neither of these devices has a chance of biting you or a family member, yet any criminal will be worried that they will get bitten by the guard dog you don't have. This watchdog never sleeps, protecting your home 24-7.
     
    Though dogs make great pets for many families, a good home security plan will protect your home and family in ways a dog simply can't. Dogs will not save someone who has fallen into the pool, like a swimming pool alarm. Nor can they sniff out carbon monoxide or fires, or let the authorities know that something has happened in the home. Although a dog can be a great companion, it is not the best home security system. If you're looking to maximize your home security, look towards devices designed for this purpose.

    In the kitchen, one of the most dangerous tools used for cooking is a knifes. Far too many people handle knives carelessly in the kitchen, even though they are some of the most commonly used, and most dangerous, aspects of your kitchen. The following tips can help you stay safe in the kitchen, not to mention keeping your cutlery set in top condition:
     
    First, always use the right knife for the right task. Do not ever use kitchen cutlery as a can opener or a screwdriver. Doing so is likely to damage the knife, and the knife may slip and cut you. Use a paring knife for fruits and vegetables, a chefs knife for dicing or chipping, a serrated bread knife when slicing bread, and so on. Never use any kitchen knife to cut through frozen food or bone. Both of these materials is likely to chip the blade or wear it down much faster.
     
    Second, protect your hand from the blade by always using your dominant hand and cutting away from your body. Place the object being cut on a cutting board, rather than holding it in your hand. Do not cut on a countertop or any other surface not meant for slicing, because this may damage both the knife and the surface.
     
    Keep your knives sharpened at all times. Many people mistakenly believe that a dull knife is less likely to cut them, but actually the opposite is true. Sharp knives are actually safer to use than dull ones. As a blade becomes dull, it requires more effort to push it through the food. As a result, any slip is more likely to result in injury. Luckily, with a honing stone or knife sharpener most kitchen cutlery sets can be sharpened very quickly.
     
    Be very careful when handling the knife. If you must hand the knife to someone else, plae it on the countertop so that they can pick it up. Never hold the handle or the blade in an attempt to pass it to someone. Do not hold the knife loosely in front of you when walking across your kitchen. Instead, hold it by the handle, at your side.
     
    If the knife does fall, do not attempt to catch it in midair, even though this might be your first instinct. Chances are, you will not grab it by the handle, but by the blade. Instead, let it fall to the floor. Though this may damage the blade, it's much better than cutting your hand, and any damage should be fixable with a knife sharpener.
     
    Always wash your knives by hand before and after use. Do not use a scouring pad or any other abrasive material to clean the knife, because this may dull the blade. Do not use the dishwasher, and always dry the knives completely so that rust or corrosion cannot form. Store kitchen cutlery in a designated knife block or rack. If they must be kept in a drawer, keep sharp knives away from other utensils. These knife care steps will keep your blades sharp for the longest amount of time possible.

    Article Title: How Alcohol Impacts Your Home Security?

    Most people have at least some awareness of the potential dangers or risks of drinking alcohol. Driving under the influence, for example, is extremely dangerous. Among the many effects of alcohol are slower reflexes, blurred vision, and hindered judgment. While this makes operating a vehicle, as well as many other activities, much more difficult, it also has important implications for your home security and your personal safety.
     
    Those who enjoy visiting bars or going out for a drink after work are not always conscious of the home security and safety problems that drinking can pose. When you arrive home drunk, no matter how you get there, you are more likely to forgo home security precautions that you would normally take. You may forget to lock the front door behind you, or be too uncoordinated to set your home alarm system. This leaves your home wide open for an intruder to enter during the night.
     
    Being drunk also hinders judgment. Those who have been drinking may be more likely to invite a new acquaintance into the home. For example, you may invite home someone you've met at a party or at a bar, when you would never think to do so if sober. You may not pick up on important behavioral clues, and may invite dangerous people into the home. This has the potential to lead to a variety of unsavory situations, from assault and rape to robbery.
     
    Finally, drinking alcohol, particularly binge drinking, has long been linked to a range of personal security risks. These include death from drinking too much, as well as the possibility of "date rape drugs" being slipped into a drink and then swallowed unbeknownst to the person holding the drink. Because alcohol affects balance and coordination, resulting in a risk of slipping and falling due to dizziness. These risks increase with the amount of alcohol consumed, and can happen anywhere, to anyone.
     
    When it comes down to it, it's important to realize that if you do drink, it can affect your life in a variety of far-reaching ways. While you don't have to abstain entirely, it makes sense to take the appropriate precautions to lessen the negative impact alcohol could have on your life. If you go out drinking, invite a friend, and agree to keep an eye on each other. Carry pepper spray or another easy-to-use self defense device in case you do find yourself with unwelcome company. Never accept a drink from a stranger or leave yours unattended for any length of time. Know your limits, and keep track of how many drinks you've had. And of course, it should go without saying, but never drive if you've been drinking. If you do so, you risk not only your own safety but also that of everyone else on the road.
     
    There are ways to protect your home security as well as your personal security. Install easy to use home security devices, such as surveillance cameras and motion detecting outdoor lights, that can keep an eye on your house even if you return home inebriated. Before you leave for the night, secure your doors and windows, and hide any valuables in a disguised safe if you often find yourself bringing acquaintances home after a night spent drinking.

    If you ever have to pull over on the side of the highway, for any reason, always be conscious of your safety when doing so. Even though there may be plenty of people driving past you on the freeway, you are still essentially on your own when it comes to staying safe on the side of the highway. Whether you are pulling over because of car trouble, because you see emergency lights behind you, or because you've been frightened off the road, do not neglect to pay attention to safety considerations even while trying to deal with the situation at hand.
     
    If you are experiencing car trouble, pull as far off the right side of the road as you can, turn on your hazard lights, and use emergency triangles or flares to warn other motorists of the situation. A basic roadside emergency kit can be invaluable in times like these. Never stand in the road to try to figure out your car troubles or flag down other drivers, especially if it is a road with a very fast speed limit, to avoid the possibility of being hit by a driver who is not paying attention. Whether you drive a hundred mils each day, or just a mile or two to work and back, you need to be aware of the safety issues that go along with stopping on the roadway for any reason.
     
    There have been stories recently making the news of criminals using fake emergency lights to trick young women driving alone into pulling over. Always remember that flashing lights and a white sedan do not necessarily mean that the driver is a police officer. Far too many drivers would pull over in this situation without giving it so much as a second thought. If you are driving down a deserted road that is not well lit, the best plan of action is to slow down and drive slowly to a safer place to stop. An actual police officer will understand your reluctance to pull over in a potential danger zone, even if you must drive several miles to find a well-lit area.
     
    Finally, what should you do if you are tailgated or are being targeted by a driver with road rage? Do not pull over for any reason, even if they are honking their horn, trying to get your attention, or even hitting your vehicle with their bumper. Instead, keep driving until you reach an area with a large concentration of people. Even then, avoid stopping or getting out of your car unless you absolutely must. If the need arises, have your stun gun or pepper spray out and ready to use in case it turns into a dangerous confrontation.
     
    In any of these situations, most drivers simply panic and do not think through the possible consequences of their actions. In none of the above situations should you just pull over as fast as possible without considering the safety of doing so. Always pull over with your safety in mind so that you don't find yourself face to face with an angry driver, a criminal posing as a cop, or a driver coming right at you too quickly to stop.
