Personal security is something that many people do not think about with the fast pace life they are living. That is when they should know that personal safety and security can be rather important to have, but they may need to have a checklist to help them in reducing the threat that they have to their personal security in every part of their life.

There are different forms of personal security including residential security, security while traveling, and security measures for children, surveillance and deterring or repulsing a sexual assault, and others.

Let's begin and cover residential security which is a major cause of concern. Below is a guideline that should be followed, which includes. While you move out, check that all entrances including the service doors and gates are properly closed and have quality locks installed with deadbolts. Make sure that while leaving, the front door, rear entrance, service doors, garage doors, gate, patio entrance, entrance to the swimming pool, sliding glass door and the guest house doors are all shut and locked properly. Provide an extra key to a close neighbor and try keeping the doors shut even when you are with your family members inside the house. If the windows at your home have bar installed make sure that they have proper fire safety measures. Try to keep a fire extinguisher on every floor of your house. Having one in the kitchen is essentially required. Check the smoke detectors at regular intervals and replace batteries immediately when required. Emergency lights or flash lights are frequently available in the market, keep at least two in your home. Know your neighbors and try to develop a cordial relation with them. While at home practice safety drills and makes yourself and other family members aware of the safety measure that can spontaneously be used while in any kind of emergency. Reside in a location that offers the most security.

Some of the supplies that you need to have are going to be essential for emergency supplies. Those include the fire extinguisher, a way to fight off criminals, supplies of food to last you for a while, a light of some type, radio, bedding, and a stove that is portable, matches, possibly a solar shortwave radio, and the first aid kit that can help with any injury you have.

All of these safety measures are items that you should have inside of your home, but you could also use them when you travel as well. Once you have those, you will be prepared for any of the disasters that you can encounter and be able to overcome those issues.
