The Holidays are in full swing and with Christmas just a
day away; many have already started their Holiday travels. Being the insurance
people that we are, here are a few tips for a safe and secure season of travel.
1) Make your home seem like someone is still there. You can do
this several ways. Leave your front and back porch lights on so that at night
your house is lit up. Ask a neighbor to collect your mail while you are gone so
it doesn’t stack up. You can also ask the post office to hold if for you until
you get back. Another way to make it look like you are home is to ask a
neighbor to pull in and out of your driveway at some point if it snows giving
the appearance that you have been in and out of your house.
2) Don’t show off to the Facebook world that you are on vacation.
I know this can be tough for some but letting everyone know you are out of town
on Facebook can be dangerous. We recommend waiting until you get home from your
trip before you post vacation pictures.
3) Car travelers should be
prepared for heavy snow at all times. The best way to do this is to make sure
you have extra blankest, windshield washer fluid, ice scrapers and even a small
shovel. You never know when you might need any of those things. Also, be sure
to have your phone charged during the trip so that you have it in case of an
emergency.
4) Don’t skimp on heat in your home: we recommend
to keep the heat in your house at a reasonable level so your pipes don’t
freeze.
Those are just a few simple tips. We here at Fey Insurance hope you have a wonderful Holiday and Merry Christmas
