-Make a plan on where you're going. Choose a meet-up location if you should become separated from family or friends. Use the maps that are on the city's website.
-Know where to go if you get separated. There are locations along the route where missing people or children will go.
-There is a sea of green. Make sure your child or those with you stand out with a bright colored hat, scarf, or other accessory.
-Take a safety selfie. Take a pic today that shows what you're wearing. Email it to yourself in case your phone loses total power and you need to retrieve it later.
-Write down your phone number on your child's arm (and cover with liquid band-aid so sit doesn't rub off), a bracelet, or a slip of paper in their pocket. Or, if they learned E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES, make sure they memorize your phone number.
-Have kids become familiar with how Philadelphia Police and Firefighters are dressed so they know who they can go to if they need help.
