Take good care of important documents. Passport, I-20 form, driver's license, social security card, ID card, credit card, plane ticket and other important identification and vouchers should be properly kept, and don't show them easily. Important documents should be backed up just in case. When someone checks the certificate, politely ask the other person to show his identity or work certificate for verification, and don't agree easily. If the other person is a policeman, you can write down his ID number, badge number and car number during the inspection. Once the certificate is lost or stolen, it should be reported to the school and reported to the police in time, requiring the police to issue a written certificate of loss reporting and cooperating with relevant departments to reissue it as soon as possible.

Second, property safety.

1, there is a little cash in the wallet.

The use of credit/debit cards is very common in the United States, so it is inappropriate and unnecessary to keep a large amount of cash in your wallet. However, you should bring 40 to 60 dollars in cash. In case of robbery, you should give them both hands. This is called "life-saving money". At the same time, coins can be prepared for emergencies, because although emergency calls are free [9 1 1], asking friends for help may require coins to pay for public telephones. If you need to carry a lot of cash under special circumstances, please pay attention to doing things as usual, and don't let people know that you have a huge sum of money, which makes it easier to separate cash such as "life-saving money" from other money. Open more than two bank accounts, and usually bring only one ATM card for pocket money [just enough to go out]. If an accident happens unfortunately, the loss can be minimized.

2. Take care of money and valuables.

Don't put valuables at home in one place, but store them in several places to avoid risks, especially if the cash amount is large, it should be deposited in the bank in time. Usually, you may wish to open an account in a number of banks to facilitate the withdrawal of money when you travel. Pay attention to properly place cash and valuables outside, and don't put them in checked baggage or coat pockets. Once you find money lost or stolen, you should call the police immediately. Try not to take out a large amount of cash at one time, but take it out several times. At the same time, pay attention to the surrounding environment and use your body to block the operation gestures. If you are robbed outside, don't resist. When you get back to a safe place, you can call the police.

3. Protect personal privacy and enhance awareness of prevention.

I usually copy and back up the credit card, bank account and other related information or inform my parents, pay attention to regularly check the bank balance, and report any discrepancy to the bank in time. Don't tell others important information such as credit card number and personal account password, and don't easily publish the real information of personal data online. When trading or shopping online, you should first confirm whether the website is safe, pay attention to reading the terms of use, and don't easily log in to your personal bank account or fill in important personal information on public computers. After each successful payment, keep the documents or vouchers just in case. Don't lend money to others casually.

4. Wallets and credit cards are stolen or lost.

Call 1 when the wallet is stolen or lost, and contact the credit card company to report the loss. Generally, credit card companies have departments to deal with lost cards, so it is best to copy and back up your phone number and your credit card number. If you lose it carelessly, you should call to report the loss immediately to minimize the loss. If the stolen or lost credit card is stolen, you can redeem the amount of the stolen credit card from the credit card company with the report voucher.

Third, food safety.

1. Choose a safe and hygienic dining environment.

When dining out, the most important consideration should be the sanitation of the dining environment. Don't buy or eat drinks and food provided by stalls or vendors. It is recommended to carry a small amount of napkins and hand sanitizer with you for disinfection before eating. Don't accept food or drink from strangers. Go to a public place to drink alone. If you haven't finished drinking, go to the bathroom or make a phone call when you leave. You'd better not continue drinking after you come back, so as not to be drugged. When having a picnic or playing outside, don't try wild food, especially mushrooms, because most of these wild foods are inedible and even highly toxic. When traveling abroad, you should read the relevant customs and quarantine regulations carefully, and don't bring cooked food or prohibited food.

2. Pay attention to the quality and freshness of food.

When buying food, you should clearly see the date of production and shelf life of the food, and pay attention to the period of returning the food without compensation indicated on the receipt. Although the fruits and vegetables grown at home are fresh, be sure to confirm whether they are non-toxic before eating. Some foods that are poisonous in themselves, such as puffer fish, should not be treated by themselves. Before inviting friends home for dinner, you should know each other's dietary taboos. In case of allergies or food poisoning, you should seek medical advice in time. In summer, we should pay attention to putting food in the refrigerator in time, and it is best not to bring cooked food when going out to prevent food from going bad.

Fourth, home safety.

1, beware of fire

When cooking at ordinary times, people should watch the fire nearby, and don't do it all at once. Turn off the gas stove or induction cooker in time after use, check whether the gas pipe is turned off before going out, and regularly check whether the wires of household appliances are broken. If there are hidden dangers, you should report for repair as soon as possible. When you hear the fire alarm, you should immediately put down what you are doing and escape in time. Take the stairs when you escape, and never take the elevator.

Step 2 prevent theft

In areas with good public security, generally speaking, the rate of burglary is not high, but it should not be taken lightly. Get into the habit of taking the key when you go out and locking the door at once. Check whether the doors and windows are closed before going out or going to bed at night. Don't give the keys to others at will, except for reliable friends, so as to avoid complicated access at home. If the key is stolen, lost or lost, please change the lock. You can buy a house theft insurance if you have the ability.

3. Beware of strangers and prevent indoor attacks.

If a stranger visits, it is advisable to observe and ask first, don't open the door casually, and don't be wary because the visitor is a woman. If you meet a salesman, you can decline. Even if there is an appointment in advance, visitors should be required to take out their identity documents. If there are outsiders repairing things at home, it is better to be friends with you, or tell neighbors and landlords. Condoms should be prepared in the room and on the body, and when attacked, the loss should be reduced to a very low level [AIDS prevention].

4. Be vigilant and pay attention to observation.

Go home, prepare the key to open the door, enter the house as soon as possible, and don't stand at the door looking for the key. Observe before opening the door to see if there are any suspicious people around, because criminals often force their way into the house at the moment when the victim opens the door. Observe the doors and windows. If you find something strange in the doors and windows, don't go in without authorization. You should call the police quickly. When you encounter a suspicious person, car or situation, you should inform the police, and don't be curious to intervene.

5. Be familiar with the rental contract and environment.

The landlord's contract is legally binding, so it needs to be signed carefully and read the terms carefully to avoid being cheated; At home, we should pay attention to home safety, use electricity against theft and fire, understand the safe passage, be familiar with the surrounding security guards or police stations, and understand the handling methods after the accident, and ask the landlord to install an oil smoke alarm.

6, nip in the bud, strengthen contact with family.

At ordinary times, it is necessary to strengthen contact with family members, especially parents, and provide parents with various contact channels, such as the phone number of the school, the phone number of the office of foreign students, the phone number of the person in charge of the China Federation of Students, and the phone number of friends or roommates. Say hello to your parents and ask for advice and guidance before you meet major decisions or need to travel long distances. Leave an address book at home to record the contact information of the landlord/front desk, fire alarm, Fei Jing, nearby hospitals, convenience stores, rental companies, insurance companies and other units in case of emergency.

Fifth, make friends safely

1, keep a low profile and don't show off your wealth.

Don't concentrate on chasing famous brands, keep up with the joneses. When making friends, don't invite people to dinner at will, manage your finances according to your own conditions, spend rationally and strengthen self-control. Be sure to keep your money secret, and try to avoid revealing your family's financial situation to others, and protect your privacy so as not to attract others' jealousy. Wear less gold and silver jewelry when going out, and don't lend your passport, bank card, student ID card, driver's license and other important items to others. Stay away from alcohol and drugs in life and avoid going to bars, casinos and other complex places to save unnecessary expenses and reduce extravagance and waste.

2. Be careful in your daily words and deeds to avoid hurting your friends and family.

Don't reveal your friends' private information to strangers or unfamiliar friends. Driving a friend home, you'd better wait for him to enter the house. Frequent phone calls to relatives in China will lead to phone fraud groups extorting or defrauding money from your relatives on the grounds of kidnapping or seeing a doctor. Therefore, it is necessary to establish multi-channel contact with relatives in China. In addition to telephone calls, there must be emails and text messages, and you can also tell relatives the contact information of friends around you.

3. Make friends carefully and pay attention to communication.

As the saying goes, there are many friends, and a person's loneliness in learning is inevitable, so there is a need to make friends. When you are away from home, you should abandon the idea that everything is Dont Ask For Help, and keep in touch and communicate with friends more, which can not only avoid friction and help each other, but also facilitate others to call the police in time when accidents happen. However, in the process of choosing friends, we should pay attention to avoid being fooled. At the same time, we should also pay attention to making friends carefully and try to stay away from people with bad living habits and complicated backgrounds such as drug abuse and gambling. When dealing with people, we should pay attention to the ways and occasions of communication, exercise reasonable restraint and use proper words. Like me

Use less vague words, such as "I'm sorry" or "that, that" [pronounced like negro negro, a word that discriminates against black people].

4. Choose your roommate carefully

Roommates will have an important impact on our lives, so we should choose roommates carefully. Carefully choose roommates with complicated social relations to avoid being tempted or hurt [this is very important]. Students who choose foreign roommates should be psychologically prepared for the cultural differences between the two sides. Choose a good-natured and easy-going roommate. At the same time, you should be careful in your words and deeds, consider your roommate's feelings and get along well with your roommate. Public affairs should follow the principle of "putting your ugly words first" and make three chapters to avoid future conflicts.

Sixth, travel safety.

1. Pay attention to your whereabouts when you go out.

Remember to bring your mobile phone and emergency contact information when you go out, so that you can walk together better and ask for help in time in case of an accident. Before you are ready to leave, you should report your trip to your friends. After arriving at the destination smoothly, you should report your safety to relevant friends in time. Before going on vacation or traveling, you should inform your school or friends of your whereabouts and the contact information of your peers, and report to your parents to ensure that someone knows your itinerary and try not to travel alone. Try to take a coat when you go out at night, so that you can hide your wallet and avoid being robbed. When riding a vehicle, you should carry your backpack on your back and hold it in front of you.

2. Always pay attention to your surroundings.

When going out, you should not only write down the contact information of your peers in your mobile phone, but also keep a paper address book in case your mobile phone is lost. Dress simply and naturally, and don't dress too beautifully, too naked or expose money, which will attract the attention of criminals. Always pay attention to the surrounding environment when you are outside, and notify the police in time when you encounter suspicious people or vehicles. Don't join in the fun because of curiosity, and be careful not to watch when encountering unexpected events. When you are in go on road trip, remember the license plate number and the location of the parking lot so that you can find it when you get lost. If you get lost, keep calm, first write down the landmark buildings and your position, and inform your friends for help in time. Don't covet to take unmarked vehicles, and don't just take strangers' cars. When traveling overnight, you should know the escape routes, stairs and exits near your residence in advance. After taking photos and paying, you should collect your camera, credit card and other related items in time. When traveling, you should make careful plans in advance, consider various factors and prepare multiple plans.

3. Travel safely during the day and plan ahead.

Even if you get lost, don't write panic on your face. Don't look at the map while walking, on the one hand, it distracts attention, on the other hand, it embodies the characteristics of foreigners and is easy to become a criminal target. Be calm, go to a safe place to look up the map, consult a reliable person, call a friend for help, and let him search the path online. Take a small amount of cash with you, and put your certificate in an inconspicuous place such as underwear pocket. For sightseeing in big cities, it is best to put cameras and video cameras in backpacks to avoid being taken away.

4. Travel safely at night and be vigilant.

After dark, wherever you are, try to avoid traveling alone. It's best to have a companion, walk in a crowded and well-lit street, or walk in the opposite direction, so as to master the road conditions. If you come home late, try to take a friend's car. Or each school has a shuttle service within the corresponding scope, and you can get relevant information from the school. Men and women in love, don't stay late at night or on remote roads. Once you find that you are being followed, you can kick or pat the roadside parking with your purse, triggering an alarm and attracting others' attention. If possible, you can buy a portable alarm, the size of an egg, and hang it on the key or in the bag. If something goes wrong, as long as you turn on the machine, it will give off a high-decibel alarm.

5, parking observation, valuables should be put away.

After stopping and turning off the lights, stay in the car and observe for a while before driving out. Never write your home phone number in front of the window, lest someone deliberately ask you to behave badly when moving the car. If there is another car following you, don't stop and get out immediately, wait for the other car to go away first to prevent being hijacked. Remember the parking space and pay attention to the safety around the parking space. If you are a frequent visitor, you'd better stop at a fixed place. Valuables are kept out of sight, such as wallets, handbags and GPS brackets. In the United States, there are not a few people who have been smashed windows because of their greed for GPS.

6. Drive carefully and abide by laws and regulations.

Strictly abide by local traffic regulations and cooperate with police actions. Pay attention to whether anyone is around before you get on the bus. The 1 action after getting on the bus is to press the door lock to prevent someone from suddenly opening the door. When parking for a short time, if the door is not locked, someone may use the dead angle of the rearview mirror to open the back door and grab something. In order to prevent fake car accidents, real robberies and car accidents, don't come out at once. It is better to calmly observe how many people the other party is, or people who don't come very often. It's better to drive away at once and honk your horn at the same time to attract others' attention. Sometimes criminals will signal that your tire is flat when you are driving, and then steal your wallet and other items from your car when you change the tire. Don't drive blindly when you get lost, lest you go into the "forbidden zone" by mistake. Be sure to ask someone first, and don't get off at will. It is better to have a map or a mobile phone in the car. The oil in the tank is below the warning line, so you should refuel immediately to avoid being unable to move because of running out of gasoline.

7, safe ride, anti-human heart is indispensable.

When you need a car to your destination, occasionally an American enthusiast will ask you if you need a ride. From the safety point of view, this is not desirable, so don't take a stranger's car, and don't easily promise anyone who asks for a ride. When taking a taxi, pay attention to whether the front seat leans down to prevent others from hiding. Try to sit in the seat behind the driver. Get on the bus and tell your friends the license plate number, or let the driver know that your whereabouts are being watched and report that you are safe when you arrive at your destination. In an emergency, you can throw things out of the window to attract the attention of other vehicles.

8. Be careful of being raped in a nightclub.

Apply for a job, or go to a strange place, a strange family as a guest, and don't drink other people's good drinks. If you want to drink, you should also drink unopened drinks that you have opened. When you buy a drink from the bar, you should also watch the staff open it for you, pour it into the cup and hand it to you personally. Don't let your friends see your drink. Your friends may be distracted, distracted and forgotten. I am the most trustworthy person. Be especially careful with friends of friends. In many cases, the perpetrators cooperate with a group of people, because familiar people can easily relax you. Boys don't believe in love at first sight. There are often dirty conspiracies behind beautiful extramarital affairs. If you see someone suspected of being drugged, you can call 9 1 1 for her. A phone call from you may save a person's life.

9. Stay calm and protect yourself.

If you accidentally drink the drugged drink, drink plenty of water to induce vomiting. If you feel dizzy and weak, don't drink water to induce vomiting, because it is easy to suffocate or even suffocate when you are in a coma. At this time, you only have a short time to ask reliable people for help and find a safe place for yourself. Don't be afraid of losing face when asking for help. You can call 9 1 1, ask your friends or family to pick you up, or ask the waiter for help, or even do something to attract others' attention. If misfortune happens, no matter how unpleasant or painful it is, you should keep calm. Try to keep the evidence and call the police. Leaving evidence and records does not mean that you must sue the other party. No matter how to deal with it in the future, the more evidence you can grasp, the better.
