Welcome to the Derek Alota Agency in South San Jose, CA.

🎃 It’s October! That means Halloween is just around the corner! While it’s a time for fun, here are some tips to help keep the holiday safe:

• Stay on well-lit paths and sidewalks. Think about using reflective tape or glow sticks to make costumes more visible to drivers.

• Keep pets safely indoors during Halloween to prevent them from getting scared or agitated by trick-or-treaters.

• Be extra cautious on Halloween night. Drive slowly in residential areas and watch out for children crossing the streets.

• Keep your home well-lit and free of tripping hazards for trick-or-treaters.

• Keep decorations away from candles or other potential fire hazards.
