Adequate lighting is a must to avoid falling.<\/p>\n<h3>Avoid throw rugs<\/h3>\n<p>As attractive as throw rugs are, they are a danger for tripping or sliding. Either avoid them completely or use double-sided tape to attach them to the floor.<\/p>\n<h3>Extension cords<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t run extension cords across areas where you walk, keep them close to the wall or don&#8217;t use them. If you must run them, cover them with duct&nbsp;tape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Poison<\/h3>\n<p>Medicine should be stirred out of the reach of children and pets. The same goes for any poisonous chemicals that you may use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Password your internet network<\/h3>\n<p>Keeping your personal information safe from hackers means not allowing outsiders to hack into your network. Choose a strong password, one that you don&#8217;t use anywhere else.<\/p>\n<h3>Make sure your smoke detector is working<\/h3>\n<p>If your detector is hardwired it should work without problems, but if the power is out it is important to make sure that your batteries are fresh so that the battery backup works. Check carbon monoxide detectors at the same time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Clean your chimney<\/h3>\n<p>Chimney fires are a danger if you use your fireplace. Hire a chimney cleaner every year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Get Home Insurance<\/h3>\n<p>The right insurance coverage will help you protect your most important asset &#8211; your home.
