"Bring a working flashlight and have reflective clothing / bags to be seen.

"Walk on sidewalks or along the edge of the road facing traffic.

"Examine all treats for choking hazards and / or tampering.

"Only eat factory wrapped treats and do not eat homemade treats unless you know who prepared them.
