1. Natural Surveillance: Design spaces to increase visibility and encourage people to observe their surroundings. This can deter criminal activity by making potential offenders feel exposed.
2. Territorial Reinforcement: Use physical designs like fences, signage, and landscaping to create a sense of ownership and define private spaces.
3. Natural Access Control: Guide people through spaces using design elements like pathways, gates, and lighting to reduce opportunities for crime.
4. Maintenance: Ensure that spaces are well-maintained to signal that the area is cared for and monitored, which can deter vandalism and other crimes.

Creating a home emergency plan is essential to ensure your family's safety during unexpected events. Here are some steps to help you develop a comprehensive plan:

• Identify Potential Emergencies: Discuss the types of emergencies that could affect your area, such as hurricanes, floods, fires, or tornadoes.
• Communication Plan: Establish how you will receive emergency alerts and warnings. Decide on a family communication plan, including how to contact each other if separated.
• Meeting Places: Choose two meeting places—one right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency, and another outside your neighborhood in case you cannot return home.

• Essential Supplies: Assemble an emergency kit with food, water, medications, important documents, and other necessities for each family member.
• Special Needs: Consider specific needs such as medical equipment, dietary requirements, and supplies for pets or service animals.
• MAKE SURE SMOKE DETECTORS AND CARBON MONIXIDE DETECTORS ARE WORKING AND REPLACE BATTERIES EVERY SIX MONTHS!

• Routes and Destinations: Plan your evacuation routes and decide where you would go, such as a hotel, the home of friends or relatives, or an evacuation shelter.
• Practice: Conduct evacuation drills twice a year to ensure everyone knows the plan and can execute it quickly.

• Review and Update: Regularly review and update your emergency plan to account for changes in your household or new threats.
• Practice: Practice your plan with your family to ensure everyone is familiar with it and can act quickly in an emergency.

• Emergency Contacts: Make sure everyone has emergency contact information saved on their phones and written down.
• Safeguard Documents: Keep critical documents and valuables in a safe, accessible place.

By following these steps, you can create a robust emergency plan that helps protect your family and home. Do you have any specific concerns or questions about your emergency plan? Contact Code 5 Solutions and we will assist you in making sure your family is safe and well prepared.
