Summer Safety Tips To Shield Your Bellingham Home And Family

Summer is a time for warm weather, traveling, and creating memories with friends and family. While you should get out and appreciate life, you should also take action to preserve those precious moments. Explore our beneficial summer safety tips and discover how the right security system can help protect your Bellingham home and your family members. Don’t allow a security lapse to spoil your good times!

Keep Access Points Secure In Your Bellingham Home

There’s nothing like the summer breeze drifting through your windows at night. Just be sure to shut and secure them if you leave! Your modern alarm system can help by letting you know if an entry point is unsecure. If you attempt to arm your home, but inadvertently leave a door or window open, your system will alert you of the oversight. You can have warnings sent through your mobile device’s home security app no matter where you are.

Stay Connected When You’re On Vacation

Countless families holiday in the summer months, leaving homes empty for one or multiple weeks. A smart home security system with remote access will keep you informed, permitting you to view live camera footage or saved files through your cell phone. You can also configure smart lights to illuminate at certain times to make your house seem lived in. If something happens, your system will warn you and your monitoring team right away.

Here are a few other safety tips when going on vacation:

  • Never broadcast your travels on social networking sites. Even when sharing privately, you can’t control who will view the information. Alternatively, display photos of your trip after you return.
  • Ask a neighbor to watch over things and let you know if any suspicious activity arises.
  • Make sure exterior lights are illuminated after nightfall and consider using motion-sensing lights.

Protect Those Precious Moments With These Extra Summertime Safety Tips

Securing your home is vital, but you also must protect yourself and your family members during your time outdoors. All you must do is follow these additional summertime safety tips:

  • Watch kids around pools, hot grills, fireworks, and busy streets
  • Shield your skin by using sunscreen and reapply often, particularly when swimming
  • Have an adult in your family get certified in CPR
  • Always swim with a buddy
  • Use life jackets when using watercraft and helmets when cycling
  • Be aware of harmful plants and educate loved ones
  • Always tell someone what you’re doing
  • Maintain fencing around pools and keep gates locked when they’re not in use

Swimming pools are one of the pleasures of the summer season, but they also are a well-known danger. Think about implementing smart locks on pool gates to enhance your safety and security.
