PERSONAL SAFETY
Trust your instincts.
Keep your keys in your hand; always have them ready to use.
Always lock your doors, house and car.
In the summer, keep your car windows up if possible; use your air conditioner.
Always make eye contact; don't walk with your head down.
Glance under and in your car before getting in.
Look behind you every so often if you are walking alone.
You don't have to speak to anyone you don't know.
When possible, have someone else with you when you go out.
The most important weapon you have is your mind. Be smart by being aware of your surroundings.

Make sure the balcony and adjoining room doors are securely locked.

When possible, display the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, whether you are in the room or not.
