Wellness safety tips
- Never drive your car with less than a ¼ tank of gas
- Always leave to go to your car with your keys in your hand. They can be used as a weapon AND can also prevent you from the distraction of getting in your purse or bag while walking to your car
- When you get in your car lock the doors and put your seat belt on
- Never put your name and address on your key ring, if it is lost a potential criminal has your keys and could enter your house
- Walk with others when possible, predators are less likely to press an attack if there is more than one
- Always have emergency equipment in your car such as; flares, spare tire, fire extinguisher, jumper cables, and a working flashlight
- Let someone know when you leave and when you expect to be home
- When you get to your car try to look in the back seat and under the car before you get in, in case someone is waiting in ambush for you
- Look for other vehicles that are parked close to yours. Be especially cautious of vans parked next to the driver's side of yours
- If you drive a vehicle know how to change a flat tire. If you have a flat tire and you don't know how to change it you are very vulnerable
- Stand and walk erect. Walk with confidence and determination
- Look directly ahead. If someone approaches you look them in the eyes and be confident
- Watch for someone that enters your "personal zone". If someone does, establish a good confident stance
- Walk in well-lighted areas
- After dark ask Security to give you an escort to your auto and have them wait until you get the car started
Trust your intuition! If it doesn't seem right it, it probably isn't!
