Spooky season is almost here, please read these safety tips and let's keep our children safe!

1. Visibility is Key: Children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car on Halloween than on any other day. Ensure kids carry glow sticks or flashlights, wear reflective tape on their costumes, and choose light-colored clothing to enhance visibility.

2. Supervise Young Children: Accompany children under age 12 while trick-or-treating. Always cross streets at corners or crosswalks and remain alert for excited kids who may dart into the street.

3.Costume Safety: Choose costumes that fit well to prevent trips and falls. Avoid long capes or oversized costumes that can pose hazards. Opt for face paint instead of masks to ensure better visibility.

4. Fire Safety: Many costumes are flammable. Ensure costumes are flame-resistant and keep children away from open flames, such as candles in jack-o'-lanterns. Consider using battery-operated lights instead.

5. Candy Safety: Inspect all candy before allowing children to eat it. Ensure they understand not to accept treats from strangers or enter homes without parental permission.

Additional Tips for Parents

Teach Fire Safety: Instruct children on what to do if their costume catches fire—stop, drop, and roll.

Plan a Route: Discuss a safe route for trick-or-treating and set a time for when to return home.

Emergency Information: Write your child's name and your contact number on their costume in case they get lost.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that Halloween is a fun and safe experience for everyone involved. Enjoy the festivities while keeping safety a top priority!
