Today is the end of daylight savings time. This is the night you must remember to turn your clocks back one hour. This is also a time to remember to change the batteries in your smoke alarm. If you do this each season the time changes, you will never have to worry about your batteries going dead.
Have you updated your insurance inventory recently? We all acquire new items throughout the year. If your house would burn down, your insurance company would require a list of items in your home. Everyone should have a list of items in every room of the house and update it every six to 12 months or if you make a purchase of a costly item it would need to be added to your list. The list should be stored in a safe deposit box or somewhere off the premises. You also need to check with your insurance company to see that you have sufficient coverage. This will prepare you in advance and save a large amount of stress and frustration in the event of a disaster.
