– Clean out your wallet or purse. Only take essential credit cards. Use traveler’s checks when possible. Leave your social security card at home.
– Have neighbors or friends pick up your mail and deliveries. Make arrangements to have the lawn mowed and trash cans brought in after being emptied.
– Be aware of your surroundings and those around you. Seek help if you feel threatened or uncomfortable.
– Confirm all reservations before leaving home.
– Use timers on your lights to give your home that “lived in” appearance.
– Double check that all doors and windows are locked before you leave.
– Show your children what a park employee in uniform looks like, so if they become lost they can seek them out for assistance.
– Dress small children in bright colored, distinctive clothes that are easily described should they become lost. Have a current photograph of your child with you.
– Look at the ride and operator before your children get on. If something doesn’t look right keep your children off the ride and pass your information on to a park supervisor.
– If your family decides not to stay together, set up meeting places and times within the park to keep track of each other.
– Plan for the weather. Many injuries occur as the result of poor planning or a failure to prepare for outside weather conditions.
