When the power is out, it could take your alarm, and other security features down with it. Here are some tips for keeping safe when the power is down.
- Make sure all alarm batteries are charged and working. An alarms’ backup battery will power the system for eight hours on average.
- Ensure that all automated gates and doors are fitted with a backup battery or are manually locked.
- Keep the keys to motorised gates in an accessible location and have good quality padlocks available to use as a backup.
- Install battery operated lights in strategic places in your home.
- Ensure that you are especially alert when arriving or leaving your home in the evenings, as the street lights and your outside lighting may not be functioning during power outages. Keep a torch in your car.
- Remember to keep your cell phone fully charged.
