With summer and vacations in full swing, here are some helpful tips to keep you home safe while away:

• Notify reliable neighbors or friends: Inform the person about your absence and provide them with your contact information.

• Use timers for lights and electronics: Set timers for lights, TVs, or radios to create the illusion that someone is home. This can deter potential burglars by making it appear as if the house is occupied.

• Secure all doors and windows: Double-check that all doors and windows are securely locked before you leave. Consider reinforcing them with deadbolts or security bars for an added layer of protection.

• Don't advertise your absence on social media: Avoid posting about your vacation plans on social media platforms. Broadcasting your absence can attract unwanted attention and make your home a target for burglars.

• Maintain your property: Arrange for someone to mow your lawn, and water your plants. A well-maintained property gives the impression that someone is home.

• Disconnect electronics and appliances: Unplug non-essential electronics and appliances to prevent power surges and reduce the risk of electrical fires.

• Keep valuables secure: Store valuable items, such as jewelry or important documents, in a safe deposit box or a secure location within your home.

Remember, each home and situation is unique, so assess your specific needs and take appropriate measures to protect your house while you're on vacation.
