Home Safety When on Vacation
Open flames in the home
Never leave candles or other open flames burning unattended
Put your TV or radio on a timer
Put your TV or radio on a timer, so it automatically goes on and off at certain times during the day and night.
Do not leave a recorded message
Do not leave a recorded message on your phone at home that you are out of town. Your message at work should simply say you are out of the office.
Stop newspaper and mail delivery
Stop newspaper and mail delivery, so papers and postal items do not pile up on your porch. This is an obvious sign that no one has been home for awhile.
