Halloween Party Safety

Party safety is always important, and extra vigilance is in order on Halloween. Some tips for having a safe, fun Halloween include:

πŸŽƒ Use the buddy system. Stick with your friends the whole night, and never walk anywhere alone.

πŸŽƒ Have your phone fully charged and accessible while you are out. Keep your phone at the ready, and load emergency numbers (such as friends, a cab company/rideshare ap, and campus security) into your contact list before you head out.

πŸŽƒ Be extremely cautious when meeting new people. Costumes, especially ones that cover the face, create an added layer of anonymity. Be cautious when encountering unknown masked or heavily made-up revelers.

πŸŽƒ Never accept a beverage from someone you do not know. On Halloween (and all the time), watch your drink from the time it is poured until you finish it, and do not accept already-poured cups from people you have just met or do not know.

πŸŽƒ Do not consume any candy that is not in commercial wrapping, even if it looks familiar. Be sure to examine wrappers for pinholes or tears and avoid items with an unusual appearance or color.

πŸŽƒ Consider your costume. Avoid wearing a costume that does not allow you to see and move freely. Stop and make sure motorists see you before you cross the street.
