Summer Safety Tips from Shannon Perren State Farm Insurance

As the summer season unfolds, it's important to keep safety top of mind. Whether you’re enjoying outdoor activities, traveling, or simply relaxing at home, here are some essential summer safety tips to protect you, your family, and your property:

1. Home Safety

• Secure Your Home: If you’re going on vacation, make sure to lock all doors and windows. Consider using timers for lights to give the appearance that someone is home.

• Fire Safety: Be mindful of grilling and outdoor fire pits. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and ensure that grills are at least 10 feet away from structures.

• Home Security: Install or update your home security system. Consider adding outdoor cameras.

2. Auto Safety

• Vehicle Maintenance: Before hitting the road, check your vehicle’s oil, brakes, tires, and fluid levels. Don’t forget to ensure your spare tire is in good condition!

• Emergency Kit: Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle that includes water, non-perishable snacks, a flashlight, first-aid supplies, and basic tools.

• Stay Alert: Be aware of increased pedestrian and cyclist activity during the summer months. Always drive cautiously, especially in residential areas.

3. Water Safety

• Supervision: Always supervise children when swimming, whether in a pool or at the beach. Designate a "water watcher" to keep an eye on swimmers.

• Life Jackets: Ensure that children and inexperienced swimmers wear life jackets when boating or participating in water activities.

• Know the Risks: Be aware of local weather conditions and understand the risks of strong currents or waves at the beach.

4. Emergency Preparedness

• Create a Plan: Develop an emergency plan for your family that includes meeting points and communication methods in case of severe weather or other emergencies.

• Know Your Coverage: Review your insurance policies to understand your coverage for potential summer-related incidents, such as storm damage or theft.
