Daylight Savings Time is also Daylight Safety Time.

 

We here at Deleski Insurance want to remind you that Daylight Savings Time is a great time to improve your family’s safety.

 

Be safe in your Roseville home

 

Health and safety agencies often use the approach of Daylight Savings Time to remind people to change the batteries in their smoke alarms. The American Red Cross suggests you test your smoke alarms and talk with your family about your fire escape plan. Whether you live in Minnesota or elsewhere, practice the plan too – at least twice a year.

 

Daylight Savings is a great time to check your emergency preparedness kit to make sure it’s fully stocked with fresh supplies.

 

Carbon Monoxide a concern too

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 400 people die annually in the US from carbon monoxide poisoning. The CDC recommends changing the batteries in your CO detectors when moving your clocks forward this Sunday.

 

The CDC says the most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain and confusion.

 

See the CDC’s site for more ways to prevent carbon monoxide exposure.

 

We here at Deleski Insurance hope these tips help and that you’ll consider sharing them with the people you care about so they can live safer lives too.
