Summer is here and for many, this means thoughts turn to vacations. As well as investigating where you might travel to and what you might do, you should give some thought to security around your home while you are away. One of the first necessities is to ensure you have your California home insurance up to date and the levels of cover are adequate.
Don’t advertise the fact you are going to be away for any length of time. A few tips for things you should consider include:
• Be mindful of who you share the details with. This includes details on social media sites as well as in person. A criminal is often a bystander who grabs snippets of information and sees an opportunity.
• Don’t advertise you are away from home by not arranging mail to be diverted or deliveries not to be left.
• Lock doors and windows securely.
• Ask a neighbor to keep an eye out for suspicious activity.
• Arrange for your yard to be maintained if away for extended periods
These few checks may avert the possibility of a break in. In addition, it might be a good idea to take the details of your California home insurance with you in case the worst does happen.
