Stay Safe When Home Alone!

Teach children about preparedness.

When talking to kids about being at home alone, parents should stress the following steps, and post them somewhere to remind the child about what they should or shouldn't do until mom, dad, or a caregiver gets home:

Lock the doors and make sure all the windows are closed and locked.

Never open the door to strangers. Always check before opening the door to anyone. Only open the door for people that parents and guardians have given you permission to let in the house.

Never open the door to delivery people or service representatives.

Ask delivery people to leave the package at the door or tell them to come back at another time. Service representatives, such as a TV cable installer, should have an appointment when an adult is home.

Never tell someone on the telephone that the parents are not at home. Say something like, "He or she is busy right now. Can I take a message?"

Emergency preparedness can give you peace of mind and confidence. IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, PLEASE CALL 911
