Early Sunday morning at 2 AM on March 8, clocks go FORWARD one hour due to Daylight Saving Time. Daylight saving time is more than just one more hour of sunshine; it’s a reminder to check safeguards that can easily be forgotten.

Here’s your checklist:

  • Move clocks forward one hour
  • Install new batteries in smoke alarms & carbon monoxide detectors, and test them to ensure they’re working
  • Check your credit report and your children’s, too!
