Home Safety Checklist And Emergency Items

By Eric Holm


With the current life that many people are leading it can be difficult to think about the future. That is when they should know that they need to think about these seriously to guarantee that they are ready for any disaster. That could even lead to them needing to use a personal safety checklist to help them out.

While many people have never thought about this, they need to know that several different aspects of security exist and can help them with the dealing of problems they have or could have.

The first concern for many people is residential issues. This can easily help you out and when you are moving into the home you should make sure that all the doors and gates close properly. Then you will know if the locks are going to line up properly for them or not. You will also want to ensure that all of your doors are locked properly when you go to leave the house for the day. Something else that you will want to do is to try to provide an extra key to your neighbor and when you are inside of your home you will want to make sure that you have your doors closed and locked. Window bars is something that is important to have as well to prevent criminals from breaking in that way. Something else that can strike your home will be fires. To help prevent those you should have a smoke detector and extinguisher on each of your floors. You will also want to make sure that you check these on a regular basis. Then you will be able to know if you have a fire issue and be able to fight it right away. Power can go out in a home from time to time and that could be a major problem for some people. That is when you should know that need to have emergency lighting. When you have this, you will find that your home fire escape drills can be done rather quickly and you could get light even when you do not have any power.

Some of the supplies that you need to have are going to be essential for emergency supplies. Those include the fire extinguisher, a way to fight off criminals, supplies of food to last you for a while, a light of some type, radio, bedding, and a stove that is portable, matches, possibly a solar shortwave radio, and the first aid kit that can help with any injury you have.

Note that all the above discussed personal safety and security measures are not only applicable at home, but these preventive measures should be followed while you are away from home. In spite of being acquainted with all the above discussed safety measures, you should always be prepared for the unexpected and remain alert during your daily routine and avoiding flirting with danger.
