1. Install fire assistance. Smoke detectors, a sprinkler system, and a carbon monoxide detector can save your home! But, don’t forget to change the batteries. Set a schedule for changing your smoke detector’s battery, and stick to it. It can be twice a year, when you change your clocks for daylight savings time, or once a year on your birthday. Some detectors sound an audible alert when batteries are running low, but be sure your battery is working by testing the detector, and changing the battery when necessary.
2. Buy a fireproof safe. Keep your records, passport, account numbers, etc. in a fireproof safe. Many times people who have found themselves victim of a fire realize that the only thing they have left in their home is the fireproof safe.
3. Be sure to have your insurance information. First, be sure that your home is adequately covered (ask about replacement cost). After having a heart to heart with your insurance provider, file away, and keep close your insurance information including your policy number, agent and agent’s contact number. Recovering your losses with your insurance company will be a long process. Know exactly what you are entitled to.
