*I will advise people not to keep phones or
valuables beside windows or on the bed.
* Keep valuables in lockers and ensure they are
tightly closed.
*Buy cheap Nokia phones and keep on the floor
away from the window for emergency controls.
*If possible secure the lower part of your windows
with wire mesh and space about 5cm apart.
*Alternatively, fasten a kinda thick material to the
lower part of the window to block view and easy
access.
*Place empty tins by the windows that will create
a loud noise when they fall down.
* Move your bed far away from the windows.
* Never lay your head by the window, better have
your legs down there.
* Be observant of foot or shoe prints on the floors
around your windows.
*Sleeping under mosquito net, it serves as a
fence.
* Build another curtain wall about 60cm away
from the window and decorate with jingle bells.
(You can easily slide it open in the morning).
*Be vigilant when you wake up to urinate.
*Always keep a torch beside your bed.
*Have safety discussions with your family and
plan your safety together
*Have the police or vigilante distress numbers on
a chart by the corridor or entrance.
*Ensure the dogs are let out and unchained
* Lubricate all door hinges and rotating electronic
devices to avoid confusing noise.
* Don't sleep with earplugs, earphones or
headphones on.
* Try to discuss any abnormalities observed (at
night) with your family.
* Pray to God for your safety, but don't fold
hands and just pray, while you pray also make an
action. Prayer goes with work.
*Have a checklist of valuable things to ensure
they have all been stowed at safe places.
*Keep your power plant at a safe distance and
use acoustic panels to keep the noise low
*Use window blinds, but ensure they are of strong
material (cos the boys come handy).
* Keep a machete under your bed for defense
* If your window is in a recess, build a pavement
up to a meter high or store some items to reduce
proximity
* Whatever you do, don't panic! Stay calm, think
and act fast.
