Even vampires and witches need to know how to celebrate safely and the American Red Cross has steps people can follow to have a safe Halloween.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We want everyone to enjoy this fun-filled night,&#8221; said Katherine Mac Aulay, executive director, American Red Cross of Northeast Indiana. &#8220;The kids are excited, but first parents need to make sure their kids know what to do in order to have fun and stay safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>COSTUME SAFETY Whether the little one wants to be a ghost, a princess or a superhero, parents can help keep them safe by following some costume advice:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Add reflective tape to costumes and trick-or-treat bags.<\/li>\n<li>Have everyone wear light-colored clothing to be seen.<\/li>\n<li>Use flame-resistant costumes.<\/li>\n<li>Use face makeup instead of masks, which can cover your eyes and make it hard to see.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>SAFE TRICK-OR-TREATING To maximize safety, plan the route ahead of time. Make sure adults know where children are going. If the children are young, a parent or responsible adult should accompany them as they make their way around the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>Other safety tips to follow include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure trick-or-treaters have a flashlight to see where they are going and be seen by drivers.<\/li>\n<li>Visit only the homes that have a porch light on. Accept treats at the door\u00e2\u20ac\u201dnever go inside.<\/li>\n<li>Walk only on the sidewalks, not in the street. If no sidewalk is available, walk at the edge of the roadway, facing traffic.<\/li>\n<li>Look both ways before crossing the street, and cross only at the corner.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t cut across yards or use alleys. Don&#8217;t cross between parked cars.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s not only vampires and monsters people have to look out for. Be cautious around animals, especially dogs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>WELCOMING THE KIDS If someone is manning the candy giveaway at their house, they can make sure it&#8217;s a fun night for all by doing the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure the outdoor lights are on.<\/li>\n<li>Sweep leaves from the sidewalks and steps.<\/li>\n<li>Clear the porch or front yard of any obstacles that a child could trip over.<\/li>\n<li>Restrain the pets.<\/li>\n<li>Use a glow stick instead of a candle in the jack-o-lantern to avoid a fire hazard.<\/li>\n<li>Use extra caution if driving. The youngsters are excited and may forget to look both ways before crossing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>FIRST AID APP Download the free Red Cross First Aid App. Users receive instant access to expert advice for everyday emergencies whenever and wherever they need it.
