Set clocks FORWARD 1 hour before bed on March  13th.

• Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March.
  
• Time reverts to standard time at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time.

Twice a year, when Daylight Savings Time begins or ends, make it a habit to not only change your clocks, but do a few other semi-annual tasks that will improve safety in your home...

• Check and replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. Replace any smoke alarms older than ten years. Replace any CO alarms older than five years.
  
• Prepare a disaster supply kit for your house (water, food, flashlights, batteries, blankets).  
  Once you've created your home disaster kit, use the semi-annual time change to check its contents (including testing/replacing flashlight batteries).
  
  
• Check and discard expired medications - those dates really DO have meaning - some very common over-the-counter medications can cause serious problems due to change through aging.

Here are the time-change dates for the next few years...
