SAFETY TIPS & REMINDERS:
1. Know your surroundings: look for exits when you’re in a large crowd.
2. Family and friends can get separated: take pictures at the event with your mobile phone so you have photos of how everyone is dressed.
3. Choose a place to meet in case you do get separated.
4. Report suspicious packages to police officers.
5. Dress properly – for the weather, and for the event. “When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors!”
6. Stay hydrated.
7. Decide in advance…what is the best way for you to get to and from the event.
8. Always make sure to know your surroundings. Be an observer when you arrive at the area. Be sure to look for the exits, restrooms, and the locations of medical tents or first-aid stations. If an emergency happens, head calmly to the nearest exit.
Keep Kids Safe
If you are attending an event with children, be sure to talk to them about safety before you attend the event. Always keep an eye on them, and do NOT let them wander. Remind your kids that Police Officers are there to help. If they get separated from their parents or guardians, they should find a police officer. Stress that it is important for them to stick close to you and your family, and stay away from strangers. Make sure you have a photo of them and remember what they are wearing before you leave home so that you’ll have a good description of them. Consider putting your name and phone number in your childrens’ pockets.
