Expert Tips for After-School Safety
As the school year unfolds, savvy parents understand the importance of preparing for home safety, especially when children return to an empty house.
Bob Stuber, a renowned national security expert featured on shows like "Oprah," "The View," and ABC's "Primetime," shares essential guidelines to ensure your home remains a safe haven.
Safety and Security Tips:
1. Install Motion Sensor Lights
Equip areas like the garage, patio, walkway, or backyard with motion sensor lights. This is crucial during shorter days when children may arrive home in the dark.2. Use Automatic Timer and Remote-Controlled Lights
Set automatic timers on lamps to turn on before your child arrives. For a tech-savvy option, consider Chamberlain's Remote Light Control, which works with your garage door opener to activate lights or devices as your child approaches home.3. Create a Safe Escape Spot
Identify a secure space in your home for emergencies, like severe weather or a break-in. This could be a closet or bathroom, providing cover from windows, debris, or unwanted visibility.4. Monitor the Garage Door
Avoid leaving the garage door open, as it can be an easy target for intruders. Chamberlain's Garage Door Monitor, placed on a kitchen counter, displays a flashing red light if the door is left open, acting like a "baby monitor" for your garage.5. Set Up a Check-In Routine
Ensure your child calls a parent or responsible adult as soon as they get home.6. Equip with a Garage Door Opener Battery Backup
Install a garage door opener with a battery backup, such as the LiftMaster EverCharge Battery Backup or Chamberlain's Whisper Drive Plus. These provide up to two days of power during outages for the opener and remote controls.7. Use Wireless Keypad Entry
A wireless keypad for the garage door reduces the risk of lost keys, allowing children easy access without the need to carry them.8. Conduct a Morning Lock Check
Make it a daily ritual to check all doors and windows to ensure they are secured before leaving the house. Open or unlocked entries are prime targets for intruders.9. Teach Emergency Protocols
Educate your child to dial 911 first, then contact neighbors nearby. While emergency services are on their way, neighbors can often respond quickly.By implementing these straightforward measures, parents can foster a safer environment for their children after school.
