The majoirty of homes in the United States lack even the most basic forms of safety and as a result even small accidentes could have serious consequences fro the home owners. For example each house should be a euipped with a fire extinctor at every level, puls an extra one in the kitchen togeatehr with a anti-fire blanket. The kitchen is the most likely place in the whole house where a fire could get started so extra fire measures should be in place in such rooms. Another piece of safety euqipment every home should have is a portable defibrillator whcih can prove to be a life saving device in case somebody in the house has a cardiac arrest. Portable defibrillators should be a must in homes of elderly people or in the ones of patients suffering from any sort of heart conditions. Other safety devices which people should think of installing in their homes are sprinkelr systems and exist signs in case a fire beaks out somehere in the building.

There is also the matter of stafety against bugalars and other intruders. For these cases homes should be equipped with sensor alarms which detect either movement or temperature changes. One or more surveillance cameras can prove to be effective in case the police needs to identify the intruder. Motion detector lights installed throughout the outside perimeter of the building could scare of any would-be burglar which triggers the lights to automatically turn on and thus make him believe that somebody is actually at home and has spotted his attempt to approach the home. And lets not forget the good old fashioned way of protecting any household: mans best friend, the trusty old dog. Dog are known to spot stranger form far away and charge them barking and even biting them if they trespass the property. Depending on the dogs race they can be very intimidating to anybody, this is why burglars prefer to target homes which are not guarded by dogs. In some cases, just a sign “beware of dog” could be enough to deter any would-be robber to approach a property, but its much more efficient to actually have a guard dog paroling around the yard at night.
