Halloween Safety Tips
for your Ohana!

• Know your surroundings - do not trick-or-treat in unfamiliar areas. It's safer near your neighbors!
• Street safety - remember to always cross at designated crosswalks and to wait until the light is green if you're standing at a traffic light. Cars may not be able to see you if it is evening time.
• Costume care - it's important to remember to check your keiki's costumes. It's ideal for the outfit to fit comfortably and not lengthy (to avoid tripping).
• Stay distanced - to ensure safety, don't forget to social distance and remember to respect other trick-or-treaters' space.
• Bring a flashlight - don't forget to pack a flashlight so that you can see unlit areas and objects that are hard to see at dusk.
• No running! - running to a designated area can cause an accident. Prevent any scrapes, bruises, and spilled candy by walking.

• Slow down! - always be aware of the speed limit. Drive cautiously when driving through a neighborhood on Halloween night, and don't forget to turn your headlights on.
• Put the cellphone down - unexpected surprises (such as keiki walking in the street) can happen, especially during seasonal gatherings.
• Parking - remember to park in legal spots. Do not park in a strangers' driveway or block a car from leaving their current location.
• Buckle up - while stopping to various locations via vehicle, it is quite possible to forget to put a seatbelt on. Always double check the whole car to make sure everyone is safe and ready to ride.

• Wash your hands often - don't forget to bring sanitizer along the way. Make sure you wash your hands between each house you visit.
• Stay outside - make sure you go to candy handouts that are outdoors.
• Wear a mask - wearing a mask is highly encouraged and this will further protect your keiki from the chances of getting sick. Halloween costume masks are not recommended - stick with your daily mask such as a cloth covering or a surgical one.
• Feeling unwell? - don't try to fight the urge to go out, stay home and rest.

We hope these tips come in handy and wish you a great, and safe Halloween!
