Never expect a doorway chain lock.

Likewise, never anticipate a phone call placed to your room phone at a resort was made from inside the hotel.

For example, if you are staying in a hotel and receive a call to the telephone in your area in the front desk about the necessity to fix something in your room, the necessity to send something to youpersonally, or about an issue with your credit card, hang up and call the front desk back. Sometimes when folks call the main desk and ask to be moved to a room, or, in some cases, if they have their calls transferred several times from expansion to expansion around the hotel, the calls seem to have originated when they did not.

Check for skimmers and concealed cameras.

Before making a credit card payment or with the ATM machine, check the apparatus for added-on cameras or "skimming technology." When a card reader appears to have been tampered with something seems strange about an ATM machine, find another machine and notify somebody in the shop or bank which something could be amiss. Obviously, do the same for any device that takes a biometric read of your self - if something appears to have already been added to the apparatus, don't offer the machine with your own fingerprints, or allow it to scan your iris, etc..

In emergency situations use flashlights for light - not candles.

Do not use candles for light during power failures caused by wind-related weather conditions (e.g., hurricanes) until after the adverse weather has passed. Besides the fact that candles may be dangerous in general (particularly if there are kids in the home and/or if the candles are carried around when walking through the home), strong winds may hurl objects through windows - producing situations where candles are vulnerable to end that may knock them over and begin a dangerous fire.
