Pre-Travel Checklist
General Home Preparation
□ Water plants and mow lawn before leaving home or arrange for a neighbor to care for them
while you're away
□ Dial your thermostat up or down to match the temperature of the season
□ Stop all home-delivery services (mail, newspaper, milk, diapers, and so on) or arrange to
have items picked up by a neighbor
□ Arrange for pet care at a kennel or in your home
□ _________________________________________________________________________
Security
□ Lock all windows and doors securely and remove any keys hidden outside the house
□ Tell neighbors that you'll be away and how they can reach you in an emergency
□ Turn on your telephone answering machine. You may want to change the message on your
answering machine at work to let your business contacts know you are out of town
□ Set lights and a radio on timers. Turn up the radio loud enough so it can be heard outside
□ Close blinds and curtains
□ _________________________________________________________________________
Kitchen
□ Store food in your freezer to prevent having to run to the grocery store as soon as you return
home
□ Remove perishable items from your refrigerator
□ Empty all waste baskets & run the garbage disposal to eliminate the possibility of unpleasant
odors
□ Wash the dishes (You'll be sorry when you come back if you forget this!)
□ _________________________________________________________________________
Getting your car ready
□ Check your spare tire and jack to ensure they are both in working order
□ Check oil level, tire pressure and coolant level as well as all other fluid levels
□ Pack a first-aid kit into the trunk
