How Safe is Your Home?

*Is your address quick and easy for emergency response personnel to see from the street?
*Are your ladders and tools in a locked garage or storage shed?
*When you go out in the evening do you leave several lights on inside your home?
*Do you have deadbolt locks on all of your exterior doors?
*Do you have a home inventory of all your personal property stored in a safe, fire-proof place?
*Are the windows and doors of your home clearly visible from the street or from your neighbor's yard?
*Are the entries into your home well lighted all night long?
*Did you re-key all the locks in your house after you moved in?
*Are your entry doors made of steel, solid core wood (at least 1-3/4 inches) or metal wrapped wooden doors?
*Do you keep an extra set of keys with a trusted neighbor, rather than hiding a set outside your home?
*Do your exterior doors fit their frames tightly, with no more than 1/8 inch space between the door and frame?
*Are your sliding glass doors secured with locks, jammed with a dowel rod from inside, and protected from being easily lifted out from their frames?
*Do all of your entry doors have a peephole with a wide-angle viewer?
*When you are gone, do you have timers on some of your lighting to turn the lights off and on to create the illusion that someone is home?
*Can anyone gain access through a mail slot, dryer vent, or pet entrance?
*Have you installed extra, motion-sensitive security lighting around your home?
*Do you shred or otherwise destroy your junk mail before discarding it?
*Have you installed a home alarm system?
