Committed to Serving You While Keeping Our "Social Distance" - COVID-19 Message

Our nation has been trying its best to stop COVID -19 from spreading in our communities.  Not knowing what will happen in the next few weeks and months leaves us all with questions.   In order to keep all of us as safe and healthy as possible, we are going to maintain contact with you via phone, email and regular mail service as needed.  We are not scheduling in-office or face-to-face meetings.

At this time, Dan, Wanda and Gwen are in the office Monday through Friday 9-5pm daily.  We are responding to all calls and emails in a timely manner.  Just know, we can also work remotely and will be able to respond to any needs in the event of a full office closure.  Should you need to make a payment or a policy change, please reach out to us directly at 651-264-1230.  The Contact Us tab at the top of the website has all of our emails as well. 

If it is after hours and you have a claim to report, calling your carrier directly would be a faster response.  This is a great time to make sure you have your insurance carrier's MOBILE app as well.  Here is the carrier link page.  https://www.lancetteagency.com/links.aspx

Prepare Your Home for Thanksgiving Visitors

Many homes welcome visitors over the holiday season and things can get a little crowded. The influx of people can lead to a higher risk for danger and injury, particularly for young children and pets. Not to mention, Thanksgiving is the number one day on which cooking fires occur. Because of these increased risks, safety precautions should be a top priority over the holidays. Small children, cooking food and open flames should always be supervised. Let’s review some more simple things you can do to keep your home safe while visitors are present.

Prepare for Children

You may want to do a bit a childproofing for your younger guests. Safety covers for electrical outlets are an easy fix to a potentially big problem. Electrical cords should be neatly coiled and stored against walls or in buckets to prevent tripping. Store risky items, such as medicines, chemicals and small choking hazards, out of reach or lock them in a cabinet.

Make a rule that kids must stay at least 3 feet from stovetops, cooking appliances and heating devices to protect them from burns and prevent the occurrence of fires. Providing a supply of toys and drawing materials can keep children busy enough to stay out of trouble.

Prepare for Pets

Many pets are plagued with anxiety when the hustle and bustle of holidays disrupts their daily routine. Sticking to your pets’ routine as much as possible, with regular meal times and walks, can help relax them. Some pets prefer the privacy of a crate or your bedroom when the noise becomes too much.

Over-stimulated dogs may not take well to kids pulling tails and fur. Even the gentlest family dogs have limits. Adults should supervise children when playing with pets to monitor the safety of the situation. If a dog appears to be irritated, call it into an empty room to cool off.

Stringy decorations can be very alluring to pets, especially cats. But these festive strands can cause choking, strangulation or serious digestive tract issues if swallowed. Ensure that all decorations and poisonous plants are out of reach, particularly away from curious cats.

When children and animals are kept safe, you and your guests can enjoy the food and laughter of the holiday. With simple safety precautions, you won’t have to worry about opening your home and heart to loved ones.

Your watchful eye can’t always prevent every potential disaster. Call Lancette Agency at (651) 264-1230 for more information on Minneapolis home insurance.
