• Carry glow sticks or flashlights, use reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and wear light colors to help kids see and be seen by drivers.
• Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating.
• Slow down and be alert! Kids are excited on Halloween and may dart into the street.
• Turn on headlights early in the day to spot kids from further away.
• Remind kids to cross the street at corners or crosswalks.
• When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.
• Choose face paint over masks when possible. Masks can limit children's vision.

• Clean grease off of your stove so it can't catch fire while you are cooking.
• Don't leave food cooking if you can't be there to watch it.
• Never store flammable or combustible products in your unit.
• Never smoke a cigarette, pipe, or cigar in bed.

• Keep your TV set, stereo, kitchen appliances, switches, and electrical outlets in a safe condition. Replace frayed or broken plugs and cords.
• Don't run electrical cords under your rugs or where people walk.
• Move rags, paper, trash, and other materials that burn easily away from stoves, room heaters, water heaters, TV sets, and other appliances that get hot.
• Avoid leaving children alone at home, where they can start fires by playing with matches, lighters, and candles.
• Don't overload electrical outlets. Each outlet is designed to safely handle only one lamp or appliance at a time. Overloaded circuits sometimes cause fires.
• Do not store anything in the water heater or furnace closets.
• Do not block access to the water heater or furnace closets.

• All exits must be clear so you can get out in case of a fire. The sliding side of bedroom windows must not be blocked by any furniture or obstruction that cannot be moved easily.

• All housing units have smoke detectors and are inspected for fire hazards. The alarm sometimes makes a loud, annoying noise during cooking or other normal activities. If this happens, open your windows and doors to let in the fresh air. Do not disconnect the smoke detector - this is grounds for termination of your lease!

• It is the oldest known holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the US.
• Juneteenth is the title of a book by author Ralph Ellison. Other books by Carolyn Meyer and Ann Rinaldi also center around the day.

• Buckle your safety belt - it's the best way to stay safe in a vehicle and remember, the national Click It or Ticket program is in full swing over the holiday weekend
• Don't drink and drive - even one alcoholic drink can reduce your abilities and impair your judgment
• Put down the cell phone - In many states, using your cell phone while driving is against the law
• Be prepared - take a map, atlas, or GPS device; make sure your spare tire is inflated and you know how to change it; have your car serviced before heading out; include an emergency kit with water and snacks in case you're stranded for more than a few hours; refuel BEFORE your gas warning indicator displays
• Turn down the music - hearing sirens and emergency vehicles is an important warning to slow down and drive cautiously - you may be approaching an accident scene
• Keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel - eating, looking for CDs, and digging for things in the floorboard or back seat can lead to trouble
• Be courteous - because of the volume of vehicles on the road, you're bound to run into a few traffic jams, be cut off, or be forced to stop short - remain calm and courteous - don't let other drivers ruin your holiday
• Get plenty of rest - make sure you're well-rested before getting behind the wheel, and rotate driving duties with others in the car to avoid becoming too sleepy or distracted
• Take frequent breaks - stop, get out of the vehicle and stretch your legs often

We will be opening our doors to the Public effective Tuesday, July 5th.

• Stay home when you are sick.
• If you are sick call ahead to your medical provider before seeking medical care.
• Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue.
• Clean & disinfect frequently touched surfaces and objects daily.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

• Read cautionary labels and performance descriptions before lighting a firework
• Never give fireworks to children
• Wear safety glasses when shooting fireworks
• Use the fireworks outdoors, away from buildings and vehicles
• Dispose of fireworks safely (wet them down and place them in a metal trash can until the next day)

• Buckle your safety belt - it's the best way to stay safe in a vehicle and remember, the national Click It or Ticket program is in full swing over the holiday weekend
• Don't drink and drive - even one alcoholic drink can reduce your abilities and impair your judgment
• Put down the cell phone - In many states, using your cell phone while driving is against the law
• Be prepared - take a map, atlas, or GPS device; make sure your spare tire is inflated and you know how to change it; have your car serviced before heading out; include an emergency kit with water and snacks in case you're stranded for more than a few hours; refuel BEFORE your gas warning indicator displays
• Turn down the music - hearing sirens and emergency vehicles is an important warning to slow down and drive cautiously - you may be approaching an accident scene
• Keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel - eating, looking for CDs, and digging for things in the floorboard or back seat can lead to trouble
• Be courteous - because of the volume of vehicles on the road, you're bound to run into a few traffic jams, be cut off, or be forced to stop short - remain calm and courteous - don't let other drivers ruin your holiday
• Get plenty of rest - make sure you're well rested before getting behind the wheel, rotate driving duties with others in the car to avoid becoming too sleepy or distracted
• Take frequent breaks - stop, get out of the vehicle, and stretch your legs often
