Halloween Safety Tips for Families

Here are some trick-or-treating tips:

  • Be sure to be seen – Carry flashlights or glow sticks and add reflective tape or reflectors to dark-colored costumes.
  • Consider face paint and decorative hats as alternatives to masks that can limit or block eyesight.
  • Wear flame-retardant costumes and only carry costume props constructed of cardboard to avoid injury.
  • Travel in groups under the supervision of parents or guardian, use sidewalks where available, stay to the side of the road and watch for cars.
  • Stay in familiar neighborhoods and only visit familiar homes with porch lights on.
  • Adults should inspect all treats prior to the children enjoying them.
  • Give and accept wrapped or packaged candy only.
  • Drive cautiously in neighborhoods and areas where children may be trick-or-treating.
  • For adults attending parties, please plan ahead and practice responsible drinking. Do not drink and drive.
