Kids and dog ready to Trick-or-Treat

According to the NSC, Children are more than twice as likely to be hit by a car and killed on Halloween than on any other day of the year.

Walk Safely

1. Never assume a motorist has seen you. Make eye contact and make sure they know you are there.
2. Always stay on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sideways,walk facing traffic as far to the left side as possible.
3. Put the devices down. Keep heads up and walk, don't run across the street.

Costumes 

1. Be visible! Add lights and reflectors to your child's costume, it's a fun and easy way to help keep children safe as they trick or treat.
2. Check that your child's costume is flame resistant and does not obstruct their vision.
3. Choose masks that are easy to see through and think about lifting your mask up while walking between houses.

Check Candy

1. Always check candy before letting your child eat it. Avoid homemade treats made by strangers.
2. Watch out for foods your children are allergic to.
3. Throw away candy that is unwrapped.
