For trick-or-treaters and parents

• Trick-or-treat in familiar neighborhoods, in groups, and carry a flashlight.

For drivers

• Drive slowly, especially in residential areas, and watch for children in the street and in medians.
• Never drive after drinking or using drugs.

For homeowners

• Use flameless candles in jack-o’-lanterns, and keep paper and dry decorations away from heat and flames.
