Driving Safely An ordinary driver reacts to road situations - a good driver anticipates a crisis and avoids it. The #1 source of driver inattention is the use of a wireless device. Everything you do while driving in inclement weather conditions will affect how your vehicle handles. Wear your seat belt, move slowly, turn slowly, brake slowly. Most mishaps are caused by speeding and tail- gating. Slow down, leave plenty of room between vehicles, focus on driving.
Crime Prevention National Crime Prevention Council - 1 out of 10 homes will be burglarized this year. Don’t open the door to anyone you don’t know. Don’t advertise vacations on Facebook or elsewhere Keep porches, entrances, and yards well lit. Don’t let papers or mail pile up. Be aware that criminals sometimes pose as couriers. Don’t advertise new electronics or other valuables by putting the boxes out on the curb for the garbage collectors. Break them down and fold them inside out. Lock doors and windows when you leave your home, even for a few minutes. Keep them locked while you are home.
When faced with an emergency, stay calm. As long as you think clearly, you'll be in control of the situation. Have a plan. Brief your family. You are your best protection. The End
