*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 fones and keep on the floor away from the window for emergency controls

*If possible secure the lower part of ur 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.

*Electrify the ironmongery and energize at bedtime.

* activate alarm sensors around the Windows.

* 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.

* turn your CCTV or spy cameras on and position them properly.

*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.
