These 8 Emergency Safety Tips Can Help Keep You Safe If You Live Alone
Use Smart Appliances
Smart appliances can act as your second set of eyes and ears if you live alone. Things like smart coffee makers and ovens can be set to automatically shut off at certain times, if you fail to manually do so. This can reduce the risk of fires – especially when you don’t have someone else in the home double-checking these appliances.
You could also consider adding a smart water leak detector that will alert you if there is a leak in your home. Some of these systems automatically shut off the water in your home when abnormal moisture is detected to prevent further damage. Most notify your connected device of the issue, so you’ll be alerted, even if you’re away from home.
