Spring Safety

Spring beckons us outdoors where the cherry blossoms are blooming and the days are growing longer. In spring we celebrate Passover and Easter with family and friends. Students are on spring break.

Spring is a time of renewal. It reminds us of the hope we can find just as nature revives the green leaves and colorful flowers, seasons and circumstances always change.

These are challenging times and we could all benefit from being a little more mindful and resourceful.

We know while jobs continue to disappear and debts pile up, people are trying to make ends meet and do the best the can. As the dark, cold days of winter move into brighter, warmer days, there are some measures to help individuals and families be alert and feel secure.

• Always be aware of your surroundings


• Pay attention to gut feelings and trust your instincts


• Carry a personal protection item on you


• Take a self-defense class


• Talk with people you trust to share support and encouragement
  

These are some affordable options for home security products:

• For windows, you can attach a Mace™ Window Alert which is a 95 decibel glass breakage alarm that attaches to windows and set off by vibrations if someone tries to break through. Click HERE for more info.
