- Disconnect your garage door opener.
- Stop all deliveries or have a neighbor collect them for you.
- Use timers to turn lights on and off.
- Be cautious about announcing your plans on social media or voice mail.
- Turn off the water or keep the thermostat above 55 degrees to prevent freezing pipes.
- Arrange to have snow shoveled and sidewalks salted.
