Daylight Savings Time is also Daylight Safety Time
In most places in the United States, Sunday, March 9, is Daylight Saving Time, when clocks are moved forward one hour. We here at R Hobbs Insurance Agency want to remind you it’s also a great time to improve your family’s safety!
Be safe in you Illinois or Wisconsin home
Health and safety agencies often use the approach of Daylight Saving 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 Lincolnshire, Buffalo Grove, Vernon Hills or elsewhere, practice the plan too – at least twice a year.
Daylight Saving is a great time to check your emergency preparedness kit to make sure it’s fully stocked with fresh supplies.
Carbon Monoxide is 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.
