The first five months of 2020 have certainly brought many unexpected events throughout the world. We have been asked to stay home, close businesses, and homeschool our children so that the coronavirus pandemic does not spread like wildfire here in the United States. Just as businesses are starting to open back up we are dealing with riots throughout the country. Civil unrest has reached a level where protesters, rioting, and looting are taking place in cities all around the United States. You may not have any idea how to keep yourself safe during a riot. Today Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Miami, FL is going to talk about steps that you can take to stay safe.
How to Feel Safe at Home During Riots
Most of the time your home is actually safe during civil unrest. Rarely is there a reason for rioters or looters to go into residential neighborhoods. If one of your neighbors is a political figure, top ranked police officer, or directly involved in the protest organization you may want to take a few precautions. Other than that, you are typically fine in your own home. Thankfully that means that most of us are very safe. If you do not feel safe in your own home we do have a few small recommendations for you. When you are home stay away from windows. Rioters frequently throw items through windows so staying away from them will keep you safe. Many people do not currently park in their garage. If you can reorganize things in your garage so that you can safely pull into your garage it would help keep you safer.
How to Protect Your Business from Rioters
Business owners are currently being targeted by rioters. In history businesses were very strategically selected by rioters, but right now the businesses targeted are more random than usual. Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Miami, FL recommends that every business take at least some precautions to protect their office at this time. You will want to remove as many valuables from your premises as possible. Removing your valuables is helpful because it will minimize your losses if your business becomes a target. Posting signs that say nothing of value is one the premises will help your business be less of a target.

You will want to make sure that you stay safe yourself during a time of civil unrest as well. Even if you do your best to avoid areas where riots are typically taking place, you may find yourself caught up in the middle of a riot or protest. If that happens to you try to stay on your feet and keep moving. Work your way to the outer edges of the crowd and try to get away from the group without being noticed. Once you are away from the group resist the urge to run away from the area, walk slowly and carefully so that you do not draw attention to yourself. At Advanced Private Investigator & Security of Miami, FL we hope that all of our clients will stay safe and sound through the civil unrest that our country is currently in. Contact us today!
