Walk on sidewalks. 3. Stay in well-lit areas. 4. Carry glow sticks or use flashlights. Add reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags. 5. Do not eat any candy until it has been inspected at home and review labels to ensure allergens are not present. 6. Stay on the porch when trick-or-treating. Never go in a strangers home or car. 7. Slow down and stay alert. 8. Wear costumes that say “flame resistant” on the label. Tips provided by dhs.gov
