Personal alarm checks, especially now it's dark earlier.

Just a shout out, I tested all my personal alarms with batteries today and only one was still working.
My other one with usb charging was flat, found that out on my way home when I needed it's torchlight.
Must remind DD at uni to check that her personal alarm is working okay.

Where do you live that you need several personal alarms? Asking asI never owned one.

Uk. 'all my' does sound rather more than the 4 pack I bought last year!
Handy to keep one in my bag, one each in different coat, the car etc.
Plus my work gave me the usb charging one with app to alert a chosen contact.
So easy to forget to check them regularly, didn't want someone finding out the battery was flat in an emergency.
Without being paranoid, it's a little thing to have that might save your life.
