As we set our clocks forward this Sunday for Daylight Saving Time, we welcome longer days, warmer weather, and more sunlight. But this time of year is also an important reminder to check in on safety and preparedness at home.
Why Does Daylight Saving Time Matter?
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is meant to help us make the most of natural daylight, but losing an hour of sleep can disrupt our schedules. It’s a great time to reset more than just our clocks!
Spring Forward Safety Checklist
✅ Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors – Batteries should be replaced at least once a year, and DST is a great reminder to ensure everything is working properly.
✅ Check your home emergency kit – Make sure your flashlights, batteries, first aid kits, and other emergency supplies are up to date.
✅ Review your home insurance policy – With spring storms and weather changes ahead, it’s smart to check your coverage for unexpected events.
✅ Adjust your sleep schedule – Losing an hour of sleep can make mornings tough. Try going to bed a little earlier to adjust to the time change smoothly.
