🌞 Summer Safety Tips — Around The Fire: Outdoor Grills and Smokers
Few things feel more like summer than stepping out of the slider and to the deck where burgers are grilling. But in a multi-family dwelling, and particularly those with wooden decks, it puts every tenant in harm’s way. Small decks pose the greatest problem, where ventilation might be lacking or where grills are too close to other flammables; walls, for example, or outside shades, hammocks, or even plants. When possible, discourage all smokers or grills being used on small non-composite decks, but particularly charcoal or wood-fired varieties where hot coals invariably get away from grillers and smoke can wreak havoc with neighboring alarms.

🌞 Summer Safety Tips — Around The Pool: Fencing
During the heat of summer, the last thing we want to think about is what’s keeping us out. But for tenants, that may be the very thing that’s keeping them safe. Regulations vary in different states and jurisdictions and if you have a pool on the premises, we urge you to revisit those regulations in preparation for summer’s busy swim season. In California, for example, code requires fences be constructed over 60 inches tall, with openings no more than 4 inches between slats and outfitted with self-closing and self-latching gates of at least 54 inches tall.

🔒 Incident Response Plan (IRP)
You may have taken steps to guard against potential attacks, but what happens next? The Incident Response Plan is a core component in being prepared with a strategy in the event of an attack or data breach. The process begins with an evaluation scorecard that determines the most appropriate Incident Response Plan to address the needs of your property and staff. Easy-to-use templates are designed to document how data should be handled, how IT systems are best organized, and who to contact when needed. The IRP is a critical component in your readiness.

🔒 Cyber Security Do’s and Don'ts
When it comes to protecting yourself against cyber attacks, the mantra is “Don’t Become A Victim!” Especially if you can help it. The most simple deterrent is asking yourself? Do I know who this call or email is from? Is it legitimate? If not, delete the email or hang up. Here are some others: Do NOT answer or call back an unfamiliar number, particularly from your cell phone. Do NOT engage in conversations with unknown callers. Even simple responses are queues for hackers to authorize fraudulent charges or gain access to personal accounts. Do NOT open unknown attachments or hover over links in emails. Watch for nonsensical characters or sentences, typos, or senders’ addresses not from the company domain. Do report scam numbers to the National Do Not Call Register. Add security layers with the help of IT professionals. And learn as much as you can in training and seminars. Let us know. We can help!

🔒 Phishing and Vishing
At Synchrous, we have alerted members to “phishing” scams, where the employee of a property receives an email from someone who misrepresents themselves and requests the employee purchase a gift card or wire money prior to reimbursement. Now, there’s an offshoot called “vishing,” (short for voice phishing) which directs recipients to call a number to claim a refund or reimbursement, then pilfers bank account or credit card information. Beware! There are signs you can look for to spot vishing, phishing, and spear phishing messages. Watch for typos, inaccuracies, or awkward phrasing and for sender email addresses that are unrecognizable or don’t appear to be from the company the sender says it represents. The most simple approach? If there is any question in your mind as to the source or its legitimacy, delete the email or hang up.

❄️ Extended Travel
Travel is a core part of the holidays. So when tenants are planning extended trips away during the winter, they should know to prepare for inclimate weather. Ask them to leave the heat at a comfortable level. Yes, it will likely equate to a higher heating bill but it also provides peace of mind in the event of extreme cold weather. If possible, consider draining the system. And ask tenants to undertake other measures to keep their place warm and cozy while away. It may just ensure a more comfortable return.

❄️ Safe Holiday Gathering
The holidays are a time for celebrating family and friends. In addition to hazards related to gathering in this time of COVID, the holidays also bring other hazards and safety considerations. Decorations can be both a comfort and a potential hazard. Fireplaces and candles are in full swing. Hurried schedules can cause distractions. In fact, according to the National Fire Protection Association, each year nearly 47,000 fires occur during the winter holidays, claiming multiple lives and injuries, while costing nearly half a billion dollars in property damage. With safety measures in place, these dangers can be avoided.
