8. Have an emergency plan in place and discuss it with everyone in the home regularly.

Having an emergency plan in place and discussing it with everyone in the home is an important home security measure. This will help ensure that all family members know what to do if there is a home intrusion or other home security-related incident. Make sure that your emergency plan includes instructions on how to call for help, where to go in the home for safety, and how to stay safe during the incident. Additionally, it is important to discuss your plan with everyone in the home regularly so that everyone is prepared and knows what to do in case of an emergency.

9. Educate children about home security.

It is also important to educate your children about home security and the importance of keeping their home safe. Explain why it is important to not give out home access information or keys to strangers. Additionally, make sure they know what to do if they ever feel unsafe at home and how to call for help in an emergency. Role playing can be a great way to practice home security scenarios and help prepare your children for an emergency. Finally, be sure to discuss home security measures such as doors and windows being locked at all times and not opening the door to strangers.
