Hurricane season in the Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico begins June 1st which means that now is the time to start preparing. Homes along the Atlantic Coast are vulnerable in more ways than one, so installing a new home security system makes sense for a majority of South Carolina residents.
Most people choose to evacuate during a hurricane. This leaves your home unprotected from looters who may have chosen to ride out the storm and find themselves needing supplies. Even so, not all looters are after necessities, as some view a hurricane as an opportunity to make off with valuable items such as electronics and jewelry. The last thing you want to do is to return home only to find that a good number of your belongings are missing.
An intrusion detection system will alert authorities as soon as an alarm is triggered. As such, the odds of someone gaining access to your valuables is greatly reduced. You can have peace of mind knowing your property is being monitored, which means there is one less thing for you to worry about while you’re away.
Homes with security systems are less likely to be broken into than residences without them. During hurricane season, the only thing preventing your home from becoming the next target could be an alarm system. A security alarm will also make your home more attractive to potential buyers during a sale, and may even decrease your insurance premiums.
