Florida is home to 18,861,537 Floridians. Temperatures in The Sunshine State range from 50 in winter to 91 in the summer. The water quality is rated at 64.00, while air quality comes in at 70.10. Florida currently sits at 27 on the comfort index.
Combining FBI crime statistics and census data for Florida, your home has a 1 in 111 chance of experiencing a break-in this year.1, 2 Fortunately, research has shown that your home is as much as 3 times less likely to be targeted with a home security system.3 So when you get ADT in Florida to help protect your family, you lower your chances of being burglarized to approximately 1 in 333.2, 34
Annual break-ins in Florida decreased to 169,119, down from 181,884 the year before. However, every month there are still more than 14,093 break-ins reported by Floridians. And Florida is still 268% higher than the national average in property crimes.2
ADT Florida helps deter would-be burglars. A study conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice reported that 9 out of 10 burglars avoided homes protected by security systems4.
Florida currently has 9.40% unemployment; and this rate has been about the same for a few years.1 There are over 1,772,984 people in Florida without a reliable income.1 Researchers at UC Berkeley conducted a study and found that when unemployment rises, so does property crime. So it is unlikely that the number of break-ins will decrease anytime soon.5
In Florida, the average loss from a break-in is $2,231 , resulting in approximately $377,039,000 of losses sustained by Floridians each year2. For that same amount, you can get more than three years, or 26,000 hours, of continuous ADT alarm monitoring.1
Many people assume burglaries happen at night when homeowners are away, but in 2009 over 52% of reported burglaries in Florida happened in the middle of the day.2 In the majority of burglaries, 62%, police took more than 11 minutes to respond, while the typical burglar spends about 8-12 minutes in a home, giving burglars more than enough time to get in and out.2
ADT alarm monitoring is ready to respond to emergencies at any hour of the day. ADT responds to more than 93,000 alarms every day, coming into their network of interconnected Customer Monitoring Centers. In addition to this, these CMCs help ensure a timely response by interfacing with more than 38,000 local response agencies, like police, fire and medical agencies.
Helping keep your family safe from potential break-ins is only part of what ADT Florida can do. Home security systems can also help detect fires or flooding in your home.
Many Floridian households may be susceptible to ground seepage due to low elevation and high precipitation. Ground seepage most often occurs after a lot of rain falls quickly. When this happens, the water table rises as the water spreads out through the permeable rocks and flooding can occur. ADT flood sensors can send an alarm the instant moisture is detected in your basement from ground seepage.
In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1.3 million fires, according to the National Fire Protection Association. 80% of the structure fires took place in residential properties, causing $7.1 billion in property loss. On average a fire department responds to one fire every 24 seconds. Florida has 671 fire departments or roughly one fire department for every 11,114 households. 8
Even though Florida has a fire death rate below the national average, in 2010 there were still 161 fire fatalities, according to the U.S. Fire Administration.6
Get ADT heat and smoke detectors for early warnings when temperatures in your home spike, or when smoke is detected. When these detectors go off ADT monitoring professionals will respond. If needs be they will also contact the local authorities on your behalf as you evacuate to safety.
