As temperatures drop and holiday activities pick up speed, insurance claims can spike. Want to keep your family and property as safe as possible through the winter and beyond? Here’s what to keep in mind.

Fire Prevention

Heaters, candles and decorations help to make the season cozy and bright. Unfortunately, all three can increase your risk of a home fire.

Reduce the chance of a mishap by keeping anything combustible at least 12 inches away from heat sources or open flames. And of course, be sure to extinguish candles and turn off space heaters when no one is around to monitor them.

Break-In Deterrents

If you’re heading out for a day of shopping, make sure your vehicle and your home are secure by locking all doors and windows, keeping valuables out of sight and making use of smart safety technology.

Shopping online? Have packages shipped to you at work or ask a stay-at-home neighbor to collect them from your doorstep soon after they arrive.

Road Safety

Now’s also the time we start seeing an uptick in traffic volume and accidents. Between busy holiday travel days and possible inclement weather, drivers have a lot to watch out for.

Here are some reminders to help you avoid an accident:
•Don’t text or try to multitask while behind the wheel.
•Don’t use cruise control when the weather is icy or snowy.
•Prevent skids by gradually accelerating and decelerating.
•Leave plenty of space between you and other vehicles when you can.

Practicing good sense at home and on the road means you’ll have less to worry about and more time to spend with your loved ones.

How to Minimize the Risk of a Car Break-In

Car theft is a common occurrence that impacts more than 750,000 drivers a year -- that’s roughly one incident every 41 seconds. Want to secure your vehicle from being broken into or stolen? Here are a few ways to avoid problems, plus some guidance for what to do in the event of a loss.
Keeping Your Car Safe
By some estimates, more than half of vehicle break-ins are unknowingly enabled by car owners. If you know what conditions are most desirable for thieves, you can take the right steps to help secure your belongings.
Some general rules:
• Roll up and reinforce your windows. This will help prevent reach-in or smash-and-grab burglaries. Adding a protective film can also make windows tougher to break.
• Lock up when you leave. Even if you’re just running into the convenience store for a cup of coffee, be sure to lock your doors. Most break-ins happen in a matter of seconds.
• Park smart. Stick to well-lit areas, monitored parking garages and low-crime neighborhoods.
• Invest in an aftermarket car alarm. Most factory alarms only sound when the doors are opened. By contrast, a motion or tilt-sensor alarm can tell you when the car is experiencing movement of any kind.
• Take valuables with you and hide everything else. Don’t leave your belongings in plain sight. Keep your keys and anything of value on your person and hide everything else in your glove compartment or trunk.
What to Do Post Break-In
If you’ve experienced a break-in, reach out right away. Also make sure to take pictures, file a police report and make an insurance claim. If any credit cards were stolen, cancel them immediately.
Some car burglaries are unavoidable, but with a little vigilance you can minimize your chances of having to deal with a break-in.

Keep Your Home Safe While You're Away

If you're lucky enough to be a snowbird who travels with the seasons or if you have an extended trip coming up, you're probably thinking about how to best protect your property while you're gone.
Here are a few tips for keeping your home safe from the elements and intruders.
1. Turn off your water. Even small leaks can turn into flooding disasters when left unattended. If you'll be gone a while, consider shutting off the water and draining your pipes. If you do leave the water on, have someone stop by regularly to run the hot water, flush the toilets and check for any problems.
2. Hire a home watching service. Well-meaning neighbors and friends may be happy to check on things while you're away. However, it's a good idea to consider hiring a home watching service instead. These professionals do more than bring in your mail. They're trained to spot issues like slow leaks and will make your home appear occupied during your absence.
3. Review and update your homeowners insurance. Confirm that you have adequate coverage for your unoccupied residence or vacation property. Also, check to see if having a house sitter or caretaker will reduce any potential surcharges you pay when your home is vacant.
4. Embrace smart technology. Thanks to advances in technology, many home security and HVAC systems can be monitored and controlled remotely with a smartphone. Cameras and apps are helpful if you're trying to keep the temperature consistent, turn different lights on and off, and watch for suspicious activity from a distance.
With these steps, you can help keep your home safe and enjoy peace of mind while you're away.
