Change Your Clock Change Your Battery with Energizer {Family Safety Kit Giveaway}

From always carrying around a Band-Aid in case of a scrape to pulling out hand sanitizer to ward away germs to installing only the best car seats, parents continually have the safety of their children on their mind.

But just as much as the idea of driving down the block with your child not securely strapped in sounds laughable, Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs want us to take a vital step to keep our kids just as safe while at home with the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program.

 

With Daylight Savings time ending on November 3rd this year, it is not only when we should change our clocks back but also the perfect time for families to adopt a life-saving habit: changing the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

This is the 26th year for the annual Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program and, while the message is simple, the habit can be lifesaving. Thirty-eight percent of fatal fire injuries occur in homes without working smoke alarms, while 24% occur in homes in which at least one smoke alarm is present but fails to operate, frequently due to dead or missing batteries.

Looking over the statistics, I can't help but feel heartbroken for the number of lives that could have been saved had the realization been made of the importance of working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in helping to keep families safe in their homes.

This Daylight Savings time, please remember to change the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when you set your clocks back — it could help save a life.

In addition, visit the Energizer Bunny Facebook page, where you can find fire safety tips, a home escape plan that you can download and customize for your family, as well as a coloring and activity sheet. The Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program is just one of the ways Energizer brings to life the company's commitment to making a positive impact in communities across the country!
