Safety Tips for a Halloween and/or Harvest Day

• Look both ways before crossing the street. Use established crosswalks wherever possible.
• Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.
• Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.
• Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.
• Enter homes only if you're with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Don't stop at dark houses.
• Never accept rides from strangers. Never walk near lit candles or luminaries. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.
