As Halloween approaches, the Queen’s North Hawaii Community Hospital has released a list of safety tips for families to follow to ensure a fun and safe holiday. They recommend opting for brightly colored costumes with make-up instead of masks to improve visibility and not restrict movement. Outfits should also be fire-proof and have reflective materials for added safety. Instead of traditional trick-or-treating, they suggest hosting a Halloween party or attending a community event. If trick-or-treating is chosen, it is advised to start early, stay in well-lit areas, and follow pedestrian rules. Children should avoid strangers, dark houses, and only enter homes with parental permission. Parents should thoroughly inspect all Halloween candy before consumption and throw away any unsealed or suspicious items. The main rule is to remain vigilant and report anything suspicious to 911. To stay informed on the latest news and safety tips, residents can download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android. With these tips in mind, families are encouraged to have a safe and Happy Halloween!
