The safest home is the one where the plan works even when you are not there. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Organised, welcoming entrances. - Lighting and cameras at gates and parking. - Clear exits and an evacuation plan. Quick answer After past attacks, many Kenyan churches adopted entrance screening, trained ushers or uniformed guards, and coordination with police. Today a sensible baseline is a welcoming but organised entrance, good lighting, cameras at gates and parking, clear exits, a simple evacuation plan, a working PA for announcements and a communication tree. Keep it low-key and respectful. [Photo: Alan J.
