Home security and personal safety is important to all homeowners. Having the proper locks on a door can help improve home security. Statistics show that intruders tend to choose houses that have door which look easy to break into. The appearance of a heavy duty lock is just as important as the functionality of one. Knowing the options can help homeowners decide what type of door lock will work best for their home.

A classic deadbolt is one of the most common types of heavy duty locks used. This is one of the strongest types of door locks on the market. It is extremely difficult to break through and some even have saw resistant screws, making it impossible for intruders to cut through them. Their complicated inner latch system makes it extremely difficult to pick these locks.

Deadbolts can also come with combination locks attached to them. This eliminates the need for a key, which is great for anyone prone to losing their key often. It can also help avoid someone copying a key to keep for personal use. Many of these locks even have alarm systems which will be triggered if an incorrect code is entered. When using a combination lock, it is important to use a memorable, but difficult to crack code. The downside of these locks is that, for places that have numerous people going in and out, some people feel uncomfortable giving out there code to too many people.

Many people underestimate the use of a chain lock. Though it should never be the sole form of locking system, it can provide added protection against break in. It may cause an intruder to give up on entry if they have become exhausted with breaking through the first lock or two only to find another obstacle within the door. Breaking a chain lock causes a lot of noise and is usually more trouble than it is worth for an intruder. Many people believe that these locks can only be secured from the inside, however, there are several chain locks on the market which have a key lock on the wall mount so they can be locked and unlocked from the outside of the door. This is good for homes that are left vacant for long periods of time.

Night latches are installed from the inside of the door and lock automatically when the door is closed. This is great for people who tend to forget to lock their doors often. Though effective, these locks offer generally light security and should always be used in conjunction with another locking system.

There are many types of locks that can be used to secure a door and protect against intruders. Each home requires different security. Knowing the advantages of each lock can help homeowners determine which type of door lock will work best for their home.

No Pet Left Behind

“No pet left behind” became the vow of every pet lover who watched with horror as beloved family pets were abandoned when their humans were forced to evacuate without them during Hurricane Katrina.  That promise was definitely evident during the California wildfires of 2007 when families refused to go to the refugee centers and instead camped out in tents so that their pets could stay with them.

If you are preparing for disaster survival, do not forget to prepare for your pets as well.  These beloved companions enrich our lives and it is important that we consider their welfare in the event of a disaster. Remember that they are domesticated animals and not trained to survive on their own. Without their humans they will often experience a horrible death.

Here is a list of things you can do to ensure that your pets are protected in the event of a disaster:

1. Locate possible shelters, including hotels and motels in the area you plan to evacuate to that will accept pets. Make sure you include that information in your own bug out bag (BOB) and in the pet’s individual go bag.

2. Keep identification tags and vaccinations current. Consider getting your dog or cat micro-chipped so they can be identified in case you get separated.

3. Keep the necessary item(s) handy for secure transportation, such as: leashes, pet carriers or harnesses.

4. Keep a copy of your pet’s medical record in your BOB and also in your pet’s go bag.

If the worst should happen and you must leave your pet at home, there are some steps you can take to ensure that they are as safe as possible. Leave them loose in the house with plenty of water and food. In the bathrooms, leave the toilet seats up, remove the tank covers and place something in front of the doors to keep them open.

Place large signs on the outside of each outside door notifying authorities that there are pets in the house and their location.  Include the name and number of your vet, as well as a phone number where you can be contacted to be reunited with your pets.

Animals are more sensitive than we are to atmospheric changes that signal bad storms and will often try to hide well in advance of the danger.  It is therefore imperative that you bring them inside as soon as you become aware of an approaching threat.

During the actual storm or disaster there are some immediate steps you can take to ensure the safety of your pet.  First of all, never leave your pet outside. Bring them inside, use newspapers for sanitary purposes, and feed them canned food that has a high percentage of moisture content. This will cut down on the amount of water they will need to drink.

If you have more than one animal, you would be advised to separate them.  Even if they normally get along and are best of pals, disaster situations can cause them to react in an unpredictable manner. Fear and uncertainty can unset your pets’ normal equilibrium resulting in aggressive or defensive behavior.

Very few of the pets left behind during Katrina were ever returned to their rightful owners. Right now there are steps you can take to ensure that that vow of “no pet left behind” is fulfilled when the next great disaster occurs.  There is nothing more heartbreaking than being forced to leave a beloved pet behind as you are being rescued.

Rotweiller puppy next door...left outside 24/7.......what should i do?

ok,so about 8 months ago,my next door neighbor had a lab puppy that he left outside day and night.....and was always yelling at...we finally couldnt stand it any more...called animal control....anonymously and it was sent to an adoption center and given to a good loving home. Well....here we go again.....now they have a rotweiller puppy,about 2 months old. She is outside "all" the time....even when it rains. She wandered over to our house today,we fed her,she was "starving"......almost eating our fingers when she ate,drank a gallon of water.So the owners came home,we brought her back...they took her back and when we left,put her right back outside again! I don't know what to do...shes precious! She has already wandered back over here because we spent about 3 hours with her,playing and cuddling with her.......I can't stand to see her go back over there again...what should we do? I already have two yellow labs or I would keep her...but I can't cuz we live right next door!

Call animal control AND the police. People like that will just keep getting dogs and mistreating them until the police are involved. This definitely is not a problem you can handle on your own, especially not without law enforcement.
