My family has never experienced a natural disaster, but I have read in the newspaper a lot of families in my area who have been helped by the Red Cross.
MILWAUKEE, Wisc., January 19, 2015 – Master Lock, the world’s largest manufacturer of padlocks, today announced its continued focus on helping consumers stay safe with a yearlong campaign dedicated to safety through every life stage. To kick off the campaign, Master Lock will ask consumers via Twitter to share the time in their life when safety and security has been most top of mind. For every Tweet posted with the hashtag #MasterLockProtects a $1 donation will be made to the American Red Cross up to $10,000. The campaign will continue throughout the year with a series of safety tips and advice for every life stage and season.
“Each new life stage and season brings new adventures, excitement and memories. It also brings new safety and security considerations. From childhood, to marriage, homeownership, retirement and beyond, Master Lock is there to help protect consumers as their security needs evolve with these memorable life events,” said Rebecca Smith, vice president, marketing for Master Lock. “Through this campaign, Master Lock will show its dedication to providing a full range of reliable, easy-to-use products as well as resources consumers need to keep themselves, loved ones and valuables safe throughout the year and their lives.”

Here are some safety tips to consider for all that you wish to protect!
- Do not write your child's full name on clothing or backpacks they carry around
- Change passwords on accounts that hold any credit cards/personal information on you (a minimum) every 3 months.
- Keep all personal info locked up at home
- Watch your bank statements every month. Glance for odd charges-this is how we uncovered our ID theft! The sooner you catch it, the sooner your cards are turned off!
- Go through your junk drawers frequently. Don't leave old mail or paperwork with account number piling up everywhere in your home
- Buy a safe to lock up valuables and a shredder to get rid of account information (we always used our wood stove before we moved-now we own a shredder)
- A portable Key Safe (such as the one above) will ensure every member of your family has access into the home and will never be locked out again!
