What is the best way to answer the door when you are home alone? Give at least two important safety tips people should practice at home.

Answer:

Always use caution. Look out of a window nearby or a peep hole to identify who is knocking. Ask the person to identify him or herself. Never reveal that you are home alone. Check to make sure that the door is locked. If you're not sure that the person should be there, it's better not to let him or her into the house.
