Travel Safety Tips

  • Keep arrivals/departures and itineraries as confidential as possible-inform only close friends, relatives or business associates as necessary.
  • Cancel newspaper, mail and other deliveries. Arrange for lawn mowing and driveway snow plowing while you're away.
  • Have a trusted friend or neighbor check home periodically for any suspicious signs.
  • Set timers to automatically turn on and off lights and radios at varied times during the day and night to give home a lived-in look.
  • Have a neighbor occasionally park a car in your driveway to give the appearance that someone is home.

Hotel Safety

  • Upon entering your hotel room, check windows and the location of fire exits and fire extinguishers. Always keep your windows and doors locked.
  • Use the hotel safe to store personal valuables such as money travelers checks or airline tickets. Get a receipt for them.
  • Leave a light on or radio playing when out to deter burglars.
  • When in a hotel, do not answer the phone with your name.
