Halloween Safety Tips for Homeowners and Drivers
Halloween is a fun night for kids and families. With more people walking around after dark, a few simple steps can help keep everyone safe.
Get your home ready
Clear leaves, hoses and decorations from your walkway and steps, and turn on outdoor lights. Use battery-operated lights instead of candles in jack-oâ-lanterns.
Keep pets safe
The doorbell and costumes can stress pets. Keep them in a quiet room so they do not run out the door or jump on visitors.
Drive with extra care
Slow down in neighborhoods, watch for kids crossing between parked cars and turn on your headlights early. Put your phone away so you can focus on the road.
Trick-or-treating tips
Add reflective tape or a flashlight to costumes, stay on sidewalks and cross at corners. Make sure younger kids are with an adult.
If someone gets hurt
If a visitor is injured on your property, the liability coverage on your homeowners policy may help. We are happy to review your coverage anytime.
