7 Family Safety Resolutions for the New Year

A new year means new opportunities to strengthen your family's safety habits. Here are seven resolutions that can make a real difference.

1. Update Your Emergency Contacts

When was the last time you reviewed your emergency contacts? Make sure phone numbers are current, and add any new important contacts like your child's school or pediatrician.

2. Create a Family Communication Plan

Discuss what to do if you get separated in an emergency. Establish meeting points and make sure everyone knows how to use the SOS feature in the Trixy360 app.

3. Review Location Sharing Settings

Sit down as a family and review who can see whose location. As kids get older, these conversations become more important. Make sure everyone is comfortable with the current setup.

4. Set Up Geofences for New Locations

Has anything changed this year? New school, new job, new extracurricular activities? Update your geofences to reflect your family's current routine.

5. Charge and Check Your Asset Trackers

If you have GPS trackers on bikes, bags, or valuables, take time to charge them and verify they're working properly. Replace any trackers with aging batteries.

6. Teach Kids About Digital Safety

Location sharing is just one part of digital safety. Use this year to have ongoing conversations about online privacy, social media, and staying safe online.

7. Practice What You've Planned

Plans are only useful if everyone knows them. Do a practice run of your emergency procedures. Test the SOS button. Make sure everyone knows what to do.
