Stay on Sidewalks

Obey traffic signals

Stay in familiar neighborhoods

Don't cut across yards or driveways.

Wear a watch you can read in the dark.

Make sure costumes don't drag
on the ground.

Shoes should fit (even if they don't go
with your costume)

Avoid wearing masks while walking
from house to house.

Carry only flexible knives, swords or other props.

(If no sidewalk) walk on the left
side of the road facing traffic

Wear clothing with reflective
markings or tape.

Stay away from and don't pet
animals you don't know

Young children should be accompanied by and adult

If your children go out alone, be sure they where a watch

If you buy a costume...look for one made of flame retardant material

Older children should know where to
reach you and what time they are 

You should know wherethey are
"Trick or Treating"

Although tampering is rare, tell children to bring their candy home to be
inspected before eating any of it

Look at the wrappers carefully and throw away anything that looks suspect

Battery powered Jack O Lantern candles  are preferable to a real flame

If you do use candles,  place the pumpkin well away from where your Trick or Treaters will be walking or standing

Make sure paper or cloth yard decorations  won't be blown into the flaming candle.
