HAPPY HALLOWEEN: Halloween is a time for fun, but safety should always come first. Before heading out for trick-or-treating, keep these tips in mind:
- Costume Safety: Choose flame-resistant materials, ensure costumes fit properly, and add reflective tape or glow sticks for visibility.
- Safe Routes: Stick to familiar neighborhoods, walk in groups, and cross streets at intersections. Young children should be accompanied by an adult.
- Check Treats: Inspect all candy before eating. Discard anything unwrapped or suspicious and watch for allergens.
- Safe Hosting: Keep walkways clear, use battery-powered lights in decorations, and keep pets indoors.
- Use Technology: GPS tracking and neighborhood apps can help parents monitor safety.
- Plan ahead, stay visible, and make this Halloween fun and safe for everyone.
