Top Personal Safety And Security Tips

Never trust a door chain lock.

Whether in a hotel or in your home, never rely upon doorway chain locks for safety. Even amateurs can often endanger them in seconds.

Set the home address in your smartphone GPS, and other apparatus to a speech near your home, but not for a actual home address.

If someone steals your telephone or breaks in your car as you are away from home, you don't need the crook to attempt to rob your house or call friends in the area to do so. Any paperwork in a car that contains your home address should be kept locked up in the glove compartment to minimize the danger of that information being misused for similar nefarious purposes, however, realistically, that's an inconvenience which most individuals are unwilling to survive, and newspapers are somewhat less likely than electronics to get swiped during a quick break-in.

Likewise, never anticipate that a phone call placed to a room telephone in a hotel was created from in the hotel.

For instance, if you're staying in a hotel and receive a telephone to the telephone in your room in the front desk about the need to repair something in your room, the need to send something to you, or about a problem with your credit card, then hang up and call the front desk back. Sometimes when people call the table and ask to be moved to a space, or, sometimes, when they have their calls transferred several times from expansion to expansion around the resort, the calls appear to have originated internally when they didn't.

In emergency situations use flashlights for light - not candles.

Don't use candles for light during power failures caused by wind-related weather states (e.g., hurricanes) until after the adverse weather has passed. Aside from the fact that candles can be harmful in general (particularly if there are kids in the home and/or when the candles are carried around when walking throughout the house), strong winds can hurl objects through windows - producing situations where candles are vulnerable to wind that may knock them over and start a dangerous flame.
