Halloween Safety Advisory

As Halloween approaches, we want to remind everyone to stay safe and help ensure a fun, spooky, and safe night for all our little trick-or-treaters. Here are some helpful tips for a safe Halloween:

Drivers:

• Slow Down: Children are excited and may move unpredictably. Keep your speed low, especially in residential neighborhoods.
• Stay Alert: Watch for children crossing the road or walking on the side of the street.
• Use Your Headlights: Even in the early evening, keep your lights on to improve visibility for both pedestrians and other vehicles.

Parents and Guardians:

• Bright and Visible Costumes: Add reflective tape or give your child a flashlight or glow stick to make them more visible.
• Supervise Young Children: Go with young children or ensure they’re with a responsible adult.
• Inspect Treats: Check treats before kids dive in and remove any opened or suspicious items.

Trick-or-Treaters:

• Stay on the Sidewalk: Walk, don’t run, from house to house, and avoid crossing yards.
• Cross Safely: Look both ways and avoid crossing between parked cars.
• Respect Properties: Stick to pathways and avoid running through gardens or landscaping.

Let’s work together to make Halloween a safe, enjoyable night for everyone. 🎃👻
