Please take a minute to watch the video below on “Situational Awareness” – it could save your Life!
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Situational Awareness is. . .
. . . “the ability to identify, process, and understand what is happening around you, while thinking ahead to prevent or mitigate potential safety incidents. It requires you to stay alert and draw upon your unique set of experiences and skills to evaluate your environment. Successful situational awareness requires a proactive and flexible mindset, which can be achieved through regular practice.” (arrowheadtribal.com)

Ripple is “the world’s first wearable support network” ~ a wearable safety device that keeps you – or a loved one – connected to a professional monitoring team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, anywhere in the United States.
The device itself consists of a small square-shaped device that can easily be clipped onto a zipper – say, the zipper on your jacket. This is called the Ripple Button.
After clipping the device on your zipper, you enjoy 24/7 monitoring anywhere in the United States by a professional team of safety experts.
As the makers of Ripple explain, the “team knows all your vital information ahead of time, saving you invaluable time during an emergency situation.”
To activate Ripple’s emergency response, you tap the button three times. This contacts the Ripple team, then immediately dispatches emergency responders to your location.
Who is Ripple Designed For?
Here are some of the reasons why the creators of Ripple want you to use their device:
- Walking back to your dorm at night across campus
- Walking to your car in a poorly-lit parking lot
- Walking home through your neighborhood at night
- Investigating a suspicious sound at night in your backyard
- Lost in an unknown city or part of town you’ve never been in before
- When you “need a convenient interruption to disrupt an awkward encounter”
Essentially, Ripple is an emergency call button you can press at any time to alert emergency services.

3. Turn off Bluetooth when not using.
Bluetooth allows your phone to communicate with other devices, such as the hands-free option in your car or your printer. If accessed by someone else though, they could misuse it to access your information or intercept your calls. Turn off the Bluetooth on your phone and turn it on only when you need to connect with other device. Many phones also allow users to set passcodes or additional security levels on their Bluetooth as well. Use all available options to increase your privacy.

CYBERBULLYING
We all want cyberbullying to stop, which is one of the reasons reporting cyberbullying is so important.
But creating the Internet we want goes beyond calling out bullying. We need to be thoughtful about what we share or say that may hurt others. We need to be kind to one another online and in real life. It’s up to all of us!

Internet Safety for Kids | How to Keep Your Kids Safe Online
(Source: Consumernotice.org | Written By : Terry Turner | Edited By : Kim Borwick | Last Modified: August 18, 2021)
Threats to children’s internet safety include invasions of privacy, cyberbullying, sexting and harassment. Options to protect your children include parental controls, apps and tracking software. But the most effective way to keep your kids safe is to talk with them about online risks, how to avoid them and how they can come to you when something goes wrong.
Internet safety for kids depends on parents being aware of online risks and understanding how to help their children and teens avoid them.
Almost every American child and teen has access to the internet. They socialize in online games or on smartphones just as they would on a playground. They live largely in a digital community. But like any community, there are risks and dangers.
Parents are the best suited to monitor kids’ online activity. They are also the most trusted adults most kids will turn to if they experience online dangers. Understanding what your children or teens do online is vital to protecting them from digital threats. . .
What Are Kids Doing Online?
~ 30 percent have used the internet in ways their parents wouldn’t approve
~ 21 percent have visited sites where they can chat with strangers
~ 17 percent have visited porn sites
~ 11 percent have visited sites that offer ways to cheat on homework
~ 4 percent have visited online gambling sites

What you can do
Women and men on guard against sexual assault are more aware than ever before that they must not assume trustworthiness by association (e.g. a friend of a friend.) That said, drugs of all kinds, including recreational drugs, can mask a more sinister purpose.
The buddy system is a good idea for both kindergarteners and clubbers: party with a close friend.
Don’t accept, or purchase, drugs from a stranger, and watch your body for an unexpected response. For example, if Ecstasy is sedating, something is wrong. Other tips include drinking slowly, keeping an eye on your beverage from when it’s poured to the last sip and obtaining a fresh drink after leaving it unattended.[3]
If you suspect you have been sexually assaulted under the influence of a date rape drug, report it to law enforcement immediately. Even if your recollection is impaired, a rape kit and toxicology screen doesn’t require a lucid memory and is essential to a prosecutor when there has been a drug-facilitated sexual assault and suspected assailants.

Avoid Specifics.
Chatting about things like your job title, company you work for, college you went to, or neighborhood you live in are typical online dating small-talk topics, but they’re not so harmless, says Jason Hanson, CIA agent and author of Spy Secrets That Can Save Your Life. “Never give specific details about your job or where you like to hang out because then some creeper will know where to find you.” It might seem boringly vague, but consider it a challenge to your conversational skills to find something else to chat about.
Using a Personal Safety App Doesn’t Make You Paranoid
Googling Someone isn’t Paranoid—it’s Smart.
If you knew ahead of time your date had a record, would you still go out with him or her? “We tend to show only our best side when getting to know someone—so buyer beware,” says Delong. “Always do at least a simple Google search on a potential date, and an advanced search is even better. Try to verify what they are telling you about themselves.”

Don’t allow technology to make you unaware of your surroundings.
Everyone with headphones, a smartphone and an MP3 player knows – the minute you’re plugged in, you barely exist anymore! You stare at your phone, zoned out; not knowing what is going on around you. This, in essence, is exactly what you should be avoiding. When you start to find yourself becoming unaware of what’s going on around you is the time you need to consider turning the music down, putting your phone away and opening your eyes to what’s happening.

Consider these points while choosing the safest seat:
– Choose a seat which has the best line of sight to entrances and exits (especially entrances) without having to turn your head much while seated.
– Do not be the closest seat to the entrance – which is an immediate point of focus.
– Being tucked into a booth will be a hindrance, so better to choose a table.
– Avoid choosing a seat out in the middle. Best to sit closer to a wall, facing out – although not directly up against the wall which could hinder movement and options.
– It is very important to be seated in a position where you can get to your feet quickly and start moving.
– Choose a seat that enables you to see as many people as possible.
– If possible, choose a seat that allows you to be as far away from the main entrance but closer to a secondary exit.

1. Befriend Your Neighbors
Even if you aren’t a social butterfly, it’s important that you at least become well acquainted with your neighbors. Your neighbors could be a powerful line of defense when you’re in trouble. They’ll also be more willing to help you when you’re in distress.
If you’re home alone and feeling vulnerable, then you can call up a neighbor and have them stay with you for a bit. You can also ask them to check on your home if you’re out for the night.

You may be tempted to read a book, check your messages, or take a quick nap on public transportation, but that’s the perfect way to have your wallet, camera, backpack and other stuff stolen. Plus, you could end up in a strange place at the end of the bus line with no way to get back if you sleep too long!
Stay awake and alert no matter how tired you are. This is true when you’re in a taxi as well – your driver could be just as dangerous as a common criminal.

HIKING ALONE
What’s Behind You?
You’ve heard the saying “Have eyes in the back of your head”. There’s a reason for that. Many (most?) attacks come from behind!
Hardly anyone (who I observe) ever looks behind them.
This is because it requires a conscious effort to actually turn your head and look behind. It’s not as subconscious a behavior as being observant of what’s out of place, etc.
The more you train yourself to do it though, the more instinctive it will become, and eventually it will not be an intrusive action which interrupts your thought process or conversation, etc.
Use your ears to hear what’s behind you.
The more alert you become, the easier it will be to recognize your sixth-sense when it speaks to you. Trust your instinct when it doesn’t ‘feel right’. Turn and glance behind you.

6. Don’t just look downward at your foot path in front of you while you walk.
7. Casually look around while you walk!
8. Don’t slouch. Keep your shoulders back and chin up. Look confident! Be aware of your body language.
9. Look further ahead than just your immediate path to observe what’s going on up there…

Trust your gut.
1. “Politeness is never more important than safety. While the world would be a better place if everyone was thoughtful and kind, sometimes people – especially women – let courtesy override our gut instincts because we don’t want to be rude or be told we’re “overreacting.” But we should always trust our intuition, stop worrying about what other people think, be nice when it’s warranted, and choose safety when it’s not.” – Katie, Domestiphobia
6. Sofie from Wonderful Wanderings adds, “Don’t flaunt your valuables too much” which should seem obvious, but you’d be surprised how many people I see with their phones out on city streets or wearing jewelry when they travel! Just keep it hidden or at home. You don’t need to wear expensive rings and earrings when you travel.
7. Avoid listening to music with earbuds in while walking around in a city. It makes you less aware of your surroundings and also usually signifies to a would-be mugger that you probably have a smart phone in your pocket.

When People Sick At Work Get You Sick (modernsurvivalblog.com)
Here are a few of our best practice steps for those working alone at night:
- Make sure your family and friends know where you are, who you’re with and when you anticipate leaving. Staying in constant communication will alert your family if something is out of the ordinary.
- Make use of any onsite security personnel, if any, when you leave your office and walk to your car.
- Keep your phone and car keys handy. If you start to feel stressed you don’t want to find yourself fumbling around in your purse or pockets for keys and your phone.
- Stay alert – don’t wear headphones while you work.
When you leave:
- Ask for an escort to your car if there is onsite security personnel.
- Lock your car as soon as you get inside.
- Call your family to let them know you’re in your car and are on the way home.

Threats to children’s internet safety include invasions of privacy, cyberbullying, sexting and harassment. Options to protect your children include parental controls, apps and tracking software. But the most effective way to keep your kids safe is to talk with them about online risks, how to avoid them and how they can come to you when something goes wrong.
Internet safety for kids depends on parents being aware of online risks and understanding how to help their children and teens avoid them.
Almost every American child and teen has access to the internet. They socialize in online games or on smartphones just as they would on a playground. They live largely in a digital community. But like any community, there are risks and dangers.
Parents are the best suited to monitor kids’ online activity. They are also the most trusted adults most kids will turn to if they experience online dangers. Understanding what your children or teens do online is vital to protecting them from digital threats. . .
