Homeowner Safety & Preparation: Get Ready Day (Sept 18)

Homeownership isn’t just about investing in property, it’s about protecting the people and spaces you love most. That’s why September 18th, Get Ready Day, is the perfect reminder to review your home safety and emergency preparedness. At Move Forward Real Estate, we encourage every client to think ahead when it comes to safety.

1. Inspect Safety Devices

• Test smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms.
• Replace old batteries.
• Check fire extinguishers for expiration dates.

2. Build a Home Emergency Kit

Include essentials like:

• Flashlights & batteries
• First-aid supplies
• Bottled water & non-perishable food
• Backup phone chargers

3. Plan for Severe Weather

• Trim overhanging branches.
• Seal windows and doors.
• Review your homeowner’s insurance coverage.

By taking a little time this September to review safety measures, you’ll gain peace of mind and add long-term value to your property. Prepared homes are not only safer, they’re also more attractive to buyers.
