Help Us Keep Trick-or-Treaters Safe this Halloween
We ask the Los Altos community to help us keep our neighborhoods safe for children and families. Please take a few moments to review some safety tips that will help keep all trick-or-treaters safe:
• Keep trick-or-treaters safe when visiting your home - Remove anything that could cause kids to trip or fall. Make sure the lights are on outside your home and light the walkway to your door, if possible.
• Drive with extra caution – Reduce speed and watch for children who may dart into the street unexpectedly, particularly during peak trick-or-treating hours between 4:00-8:00 p.m.
Tips for Parents:
• Encourage trick-or-treaters to put away their electronic devices and keep their heads up.
• Help trick-or-treaters remain visible – Provide flashlights, glow sticks or reflective clothing or tape. Cross streets at intersections, not from between cars parked on the street.
• Prevent falls – Avoid running and be aware of your surroundings. Be sure costumes are an appropriate length to prevent trips and that masks do not impede vision.
• Inspect all candy before consumption – Beware of loose wrappers, unwrapped or homemade candy.
We hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween!
