Most of us know what to do in case of fire: Get out of the house and call the fire department. Some of us even practice fire drills with our family and know where we will meet outside to make sure everyone is safe. When is the last time you thought about what to do in case of a home invasion, though? Do you have a plan for that? Have you practiced it with your family? Here’s how to get started on your urban survival home invasion strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Invasions vs Burglary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By definition, home invasions occur when there are occupants in the home. If someone enters your house when you and your family aren’t home, it’s not an “invasion.” You want to keep your property secure, so you lock doors and windows and perhaps even have a home alarm system. That’s good. But home invasions threaten more than your property — they can threaten the lives of you and your loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Statistics are variable and ever-changing, but current data indicates there are more than two home burglaries every MINUTE in the USA. Most often, those unauthorized entries occur between 10 am and 3 pm — the times when the home is most likely to be vacant. Burglaries become home invasions when the thief enters during a time when someone is home. Desperate times call for desperate measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home Invasions and Urban Survival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Home invasions are a potential threat 24 hours a day and seven days a week. When civic unrest, natural disasters, or other factors come into play the possibility can increase. Bad actors know their chances of getting caught are much less when the police are distracted by another event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing to remember: It is your responsibility to protect yourself, your home, and your family. Just like the pastor of your church isn’t responsible for your spiritual condition, police officers aren’t responsible for your safety. Pastors and police can help — but you need to be able to help yourself as well. Don’t wait for a crisis to occur. Get ready now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the urban survival against home invasion steps I’ve taken at my own home. My hope is that you will use them to develop your own plan:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
