To help you address potential safety hazards during a flurry of activities, here’s a couple of important safety precautions to help you keep your family and home safe during the holiday season:

Monitor Package Deliveries
If you have a lot of packages delivered while you’re not home, you may want to consider purchasing a smart doorbell with a camera. These types of doorbells connect to your mobile device and with the camera’s video, so you’ll be able to check in any time for peace of mind until you get home. Alternatively, ask a trusted neighbor or friend to pick up packages while you’re away.

Avoid Unwanted Attention
Throughout the holiday season, you want to make sure burglars aren’t attracted to your home. One easy way is to make sure any gifts are kept in a safe place and are not easily visible from the outside. Another tip off to burglars that you may not be home for the holidays is a dark house for days. When you’re away from home overnight, put lights throughout the house on timers to turn on and off according to your normal living pattern.
