• Never go trick-or-treating alone. Always take a friend or go in a group - there’s safety in numbers.

• Wait until you get home to eat treats. Inspect them thoroughly and throw out unwrapped items.

• Make sure you can see out of your mask. Keep costumes short enough so they won’t cause falls. Wear bright, reflective colors or white tape so others can see you.

• Trick-or-treat at well-lit houses. Never go into a house to accept candy.

• Stay on sidewalks and be careful crossing streets. Look both ways and cross only at corners.

• Plan a route and stick to it. Make sure your family knows where you’ll be.
