🔐 Why a Faraday Container Belongs in Your Personal Safety Plan

In an age where our phones, credit cards and electronics are essential to communication and everyday life, protecting them matters more than ever.

A Faraday container is a simple tool designed to block electromagnetic signals. When your device is inside, it’s shielded from outside interference—whether that’s signal tracking, electronic disruption, or unexpected outages. They come in a variety of containers, envelopes, pouches, and bags to protect personal items such as cell phones, credit cards and passports, laptops and keys.

Benefits of using a Faraday container:
✔️ Helps protect data theft on phones, credit cards and passports
✔️ Adds a layer of privacy by blocking signals
✔️ Increases safety when traveling
✔️ Ideal for phones, hard drives, and key fobs

Preparedness isn’t about fear—it’s about peace of mind. Having protected electronics and personal documents makes your life easier.

Small steps today can add up to greater safety tomorrow. 🛡️

Your Nightly Reminder:

Be sure your vehicle is locked before heading off to bed. A simple click of the lock button on the remote will do the trick.

Make sure your home and garage doors are locked. Garage doors can often provide an easy entrance to a house.

Personal Safety can be performed in many ways. The robber may wear a mask, but the intended victim can also be disguised.

Cybersecurity Tips! (shared from a neighbor who has been in IT/Cybersecurity for over 35 years).

"I have seen a lot of well crafted phishing emails. Today, I received a phishing email impersonating Fidelity Investments. It was one of the better one's I have come across. Knowing that our community has people still working to retirement, semi-retired, or already retired, we are attractive targets for bad actors. With that, if you receive an email that you are unsure of, look for clues that it may be a phishing attack attempting to obtain your personal information or account information. Below are a few tips:
1. Look for misspellings or format issues in the content of the email.
2. Look for statements that include a level of urgency (like immediate or within 24 hours).
3. Look for statements that threaten actions if you do not reply (like your account will be canceled or disabled).
4. Look at the sender's email address. You will find that the email address does not align with the company or the email domain is not spelled correctly (like Fedility.com instead of Fidelity.com).
5. Ask yourself, "was I expecting this?" Review carefully and don't click the link if you are unsure.
6. Lastly, when unsure, reach out directly to your finance provider, login into your account separate from the email and from your phone or browser, or just delete the email or report the email as SPAM if your email provider offers such services. Most do with a button in the email web client (typically in the function ribbon).
