Halloween Safety Tips in the Wake of Sandy

“We want children to have a safe and happy Halloween,” said Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis. Davis continued, “The storm left a lot of damage behind. As a result, we are asking parents or adults taking children out trick-or-treating to be aware of possible dangerous conditions.”

Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind:

  • Carry a flashlight
  • Stay away from downed tree limbs and power lines
  • Do not go into any neighborhood/streets where the power is out
  • Parents or an adult should accompany small children going door to door
  • Be mindful of traffic-always look in both directions when crossing streets
  • Keep costumes short –to avoid getting caught in debris from trees or slippery wet leaves
  • Wear bright colors or reflective clothing
