Alert 360 Announces Fall Prevention and Home Security Tips

Mark Falls Prevention Awareness Month with Home Safety Updates

TULSA, OK, UNITED STATES, September 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Alert 360, one of the largest monitored home and business security companies in the United States, has announced landscaping or home improvement tips to keep homes more secure this fall. In addition, September is Falls Prevention Awareness month and an ideal time to take steps to prevent dangerous falls.

Tips for a Safer Autumn and to Prevent Falls Inside or Outside:
▪ Install motion lights in common areas, such as hallways and bathrooms;
▪ Remove hazards, and repair or add handrails or supports in high-risk areas, such as porches and bathrooms;
▪ Be aware of items that cause falls, such as rugs, cords or low tables;
▪ Remove clutter especially from walkways and stairs;
▪ Repair uneven flooring and reduce the number of area rugs in your home. Make sure any throw rug is secure with a rug grip underneath;
▪ Keep popular items down low, such as after school snacks, cereal bowls, cooking supplies, etc.
▪ To make it easier for emergency personnel to locate your home in an emergency, install easy-to-read and illuminated address numbers in a visible place on the front of your house; and
▪ Consider installing a doorbell camera so you can see and talk to anyone who comes to your front door, without having to rush to the door.

In addition to taking steps to prevent dangerous falls, September is also a good time to complete these landscaping security tips that protect home and loved ones all year:
▪ Install motion lights in vulnerable or isolated areas near entrances;
▪ Trim shrubs, trees or bushes that might provide a hiding place for thieves;
▪ Plant thorny bushes around windows at ground level and trim limbs near upstairs windows to prevent easy entry;
▪ Put away items that might aid a thief in accessing your home, such as ladders;
▪ Be aware of usual and unusual activities in the neighborhood and immediately report suspicious behavior.

Consider forming a Neighborhood Watch Program;
▪ Lock all windows and doors, including those upstairs;
▪ Avoid hiding a spare key outside. Thieves know all the best hiding places;
▪ Screen visitors before opening the door;
▪ Ask to see identification from service and delivery people before letting them in. Call the company to confirm a representative is in your area or has an appointment;
▪ Install deadbolt locks on all exterior entrances;
▪ Consider installing smart lighting to create the appearance that someone is home even when you’re out and about. Security lighting also helps to illuminate dark areas and prevent hiding places for thieves; and
▪ Make sure smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working and consider installing monitored detectors so help is available quickly.
