All of us at Erie County government hope your #Halloween is scary but safe! The Erie County Department of Health (ECDOH) offers tips to help make sure that you and your family have a safe and fun holiday: 🎃 Trick-or-treat with trusted neighbors. Go out in small groups and stay focused on where you are walking and on traffic—not at your haul of candy! 🔦 Turn-on headlights early to spot kids from farther away. 👻 Dress to impress—safely! Make sure costumes and candy bags or pails are reflective. Costumes that drag on the ground can cause you to trip. Wear masks, hats, and shoes that fit well. Dress for the weather, especially since tonight's forecast is cold and wet. Carry a flashlight. 🚸 Watch for kids! If you plan to be driving during trick-or-treat hours, watch for children walking on roadways, medians, and curbs. Be sure to enter and exit driveways slowly and carefully. 🚶 Stay on the path. Don't stray from well-marked routes to get to the candy. Always use the sidewalk, and do not cut across yards or use alleys. Wherever possible, cross the road at a crosswalk. 🍬 When in doubt, throw the candy out. Avoid candy with loose wrappings, is completely unwrapped, has puncture holes, or is homemade and not factory-wrapped. 🧒 More ideas from HealthyChildren.org, including preparing your home and yard, decorating safely, and costume safety tips: https://lnkd.in/gGEdz-k 🚗 And from the @NHTSAgov: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA offer safety tips for drivers, pedestrians, and party hosts: https://lnkd.in/ectHMYNY
