If you have been thinking about getting a home security system, now is the time actually to do it. Many systems are DIY projects that can be accomplished in a short time without needing any help. By adding cameras to the exterior of your home and motion-activated lights, you can always know who might be approaching your home. You should always use your door and window locks. They are free and are a deterrent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Storm shutters and hurricane-proof windows<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Florida is twice as likely to be hit by a hurricane than any other hurricane-prone state. Florida residents need to be prepared for the possibility of a hurricane. By having storm shutters and shatterproof glass, you can limit some potential damage. If you are in an area prone to hurricanes, having a generator is necessary.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Clear clutter<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Clutter is a significant danger to both your personal safety and the safety of your home. Clutter is a fire hazard to your home and a trip and fall hazard to you. Keep all walkways and stairs clear and well-lit. Don&#8217;t keep anything that is potentially flammable in an area that is not air-conditioned. It gets very hot in the summer in Florida.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When you need assistance with your home insurance, give our office a call or stop by the office for a no-obligation quote at Karla Salmon Insurance in Oviedo, FL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Safety in the home is an essential aspect of homeownership.
