Believe it or not, silly season is here. Before we blink, businesses will be downing tools and getting some well-deserved rest.  Before you run out of time, take note of these 5 things we at Namola, the free safety app supported by Dialdirect, encourage you to do to stay safe this silly season.

One: Check your home insurance policy. Leaving your house empty or renting it can both be associated with risks. Make sure that your insurance policy is up to date and you feel confident knowing your insurance company has your back. It’s also a great time to check that your home alarm is in working order. Just like you test Namola, give it a test too.

Four: Fill in your emergency information in your Namola App. Take a couple of minutes to update your emergency information in your Namola App. It could save valuable time in an emergency, which in turn could save your life.

Five: Make sure you and the kids have had “the safety” chat. Whether you are travelling by air or land, visiting a beach or a mountain, having a safety discussion with your kids is key. Remind them what to do in an emergency and what they should do if they get lost.
