The holiday season is a time for joy, gatherings, and festivities, but it’s also a time when homeowners need to be extra vigilant about safety. From increased travel to holiday decorations and winter weather hazards, there are countless ways your home could be at risk. As a homeowner, staying prepared and proactive can make all the difference. Here’s your ultimate holiday safety guide to keep your property—and your loved ones—safe this season.
1. Secure Your Home While Traveling
If you’re planning to spend the holidays away from home, ensure your property remains secure. Use timers to turn lights on and off to give the impression someone is home. Double-check that all doors and windows are locked before you leave, and consider installing a home security system if you don’t already have one. Avoid posting your travel plans on social media—sharing too much information could make your home a target for burglars.
