Emergency lighting is very important. This is because in most emergencies, the first thing to be lost is the general power system. Emergency lighting is usually referred to as lighting that does not require the use of a main power source. In the dark, during a crisis, a light can be the only thing that matters, and the thing that gets everyone through the crisis in one piece.

137. Guns and Safety for The Home Owner
We know we have a great responsibility in protecting our family, our home, and our possessions. However, in this day and age, it is something that is becoming harder and harder to accomplish. With crime rates on the rise we have to continually find ways to provide this protection. Here are a few things you can do to minimize the risk your home and family are faced with. Install deadbolt lock mechanisms on your doors. When measuring for the appropriate sized lock ensure that the bolt will enter into a wall stud, and not simply the door frame. Have an alarm system installed or install one yourself. There are definite benefits of having one professionally installed. Security companies not only have the knowledge to install sensors in the most pertinent locations, but most security companies provide you with panic buttons for use while you are in the home. With a simple press of a button the proper authorities are notified that there is an emergency in your home. If possible, change doors and windows to models that are of good quality. When purchasing windows and doors ensure that they have quality locks and bolts. Install a peep hole in your door. If you do not recognize the person at your door, or are not expecting any repairmen, ask for identification, name of the company, and the reason for them being there. Then, ask them to wait while you make the confirmation call to their supervisor. Ensure that your home is adequately lit, inside and out. A well-lit yard is a great deterrent as the intruder has less chance of hiding in the shadows. Ensure that all guns and other weapons are securely locked away in gun safes, even if you are at home. This will ensure that no accidents happen within your family. When parking your vehicle, either in a driveway or parking garage, make sure there is sufficient lighting. The brighter the area, the easier it is for you to check for situations that could be dangerous, such as unknown vehicles or people in the parking area. Never unlock your car doors before visually sweeping the area for dangerous situations. If you see something that makes you uncomfortable, simply drive away, and find a secure location. Call for assistance if need be. With more people buying guns as a means of protection it is important to learn the proper handling and storage of firearms. We are aiming to provide you with responsible firearms use and storage to ensure everyones safety. Before even considering the purchase of a firearm, make sure you check municipal, county, state, and federal laws in regards to requirements for safe firearms, ammunition storage, and use laws in your area. There are different options available to you for storing firearms. We recommend a quality gun safe for proper storage and safety. This is the best option for preventing children, and intruders, from having access to your firearms. If you are considering the purchase of a firearm to keep your family safe you must ensure that children cannot, in any circumstance, access firearms. Failing to do so is not only inviting accidents, it is definitely a violation of your responsibilities as a firearms owner. Here is a checklist that can help you ensure safe firearms ownership: Firearms are controlled at all times. Firearms are stored securely and completely inaccessible to children. When removing firearms from the gun safe carefully inspect them to ensure proper function. Ammunition is stored apart from the firearm under lock and key. Keep muzzle pointed in a safe direction. Keep fingers off the trigger. Even if the safety appears functional do not take any chances. Discuss safety precautions with all members of your family, and set up rules for children/teens to follow if they were to find a firearm in your home, or away from it. Ensure that adults in the home are aware of how to open your gun safe in the event of an intrusion in your absence. The decision to acquire firearms to protect your family, home, and possessions is not one to be taken lightly. By following these simple guidelines you will not only ensure your safety, but you will become a responsible firearms owner as well.

Your home should feel safe and secure. The police and security specialists can help you achieve this. A little effort and investment can go a long way to keep out burglars and keep you in the lucky 96% who are never targeted by intruders.
139. Cloak Your Valuables and Protect Your Family
Because these are such unsettling times, to say the least, people have looked for ways to safeguard their possessions and themselves too. It used to be good enough to have a car alarm and a home security system in place. Ah, the good old days! Now security has been taken to a whole new high tech level. There are gadgets that would seem to come right out of a James Bond movie. Gadgets that are now accessible to you and I. These are things that are geared to protect us given the current day circumstances and social climate. We should all be glad that technology has been utilized to provide us with such an array of safety products, for just in case. Let us explore some of these very useful gismos. Say you`re a parent of a young child and you both are in a crowded mall or on a busy street. You get distracted for just a second or two and your energetic child wanders off. This certainly would be cause to panic. How would you know where your kid went or what might happen to them? Enter a child guard monitoring system. This small device is comprised of microchips and a transmitter that can be placed in your child`s pocket, inside a toy, or even worn around their neck. You the parent carry the receiver that emits a signal which gets louder and louder as you get closer to your child. Panic attack over. There are also so many high tech surveillance systems that come equipped with infrared night vision, motion, and smoke detectors allowing you to monitor everything that goes on outside your home. These devices are all weather proof too, easily installed, and provide high resolution images. One of my favorites is the mini GPS tracking system. This device comes in handy if you`re a parent and you want to know where your teenager is or has been and if they have been speeding. Have a spouse or girlfriend/boyfriend that you think might have a lover on the side? Then you might also want to get your hands on this gismo which has an internal computer that tracks and records data every second. It can tell you where the driver went, if they stopped anywhere, and for how long. You simply stash this small tracking device in glove compartment, under the seat, or even under the car, and it is ready to go. Say for some reason (and no one needs to know why) you want to call someone but you don`t want your voice to be recognized. There are cell phones that can alter your voice to be completely unrecognizable. It can change a young man`s voice to an old man`s voice, a woman can sound like a man, and visa versa. Pretty cool stuff! There`s also a calling card that will change what someone sees in their caller ID and it can even record the conversation. For inside your home there are safes and hiding places for your valuables. These safes obscure your belongings into what looks like ordinary household products. I`m not able to tell you exactly what those are for obvious reasons, but suffice it to say that a would-be burglar would not be able to get the goodies that are hidden in plain sight. Concerned about your nanny or care giver for your elderly parent? There are digital cameras disguised as clock radios, calculators, air purifiers, books sets, and even ones that look like plants! What if you are going somewhere and there is a cause for you to video something? Again, no one needs to know why. There are amazing high resolution cameras that also provide sound. Of course these are disguised as well. They might look like a watch, a tie, a pen, sunglasses, or a pocket book to name a few. Your clothes could in effect serve as a whole recording studio. All of the personal safety gismos, from the disguised pepper sprays that look like cell phones, or pens, or even lipsticks, and those that emit ear piercing shrieking sounds and alarms are all geared to give you time to run for safety. Let`s face it, it is all about keeping us and our loved ones safe at home or on the street. If we all lived in a peaceful crime-free society, none of these products would have been developed. Since that is not the case, thank goodness that these products were designed to proactively safeguard our lives.
