Trick-or-Treat Still On in Peekskill, But Be Careful, Officials Warn

From the City of Peekskill: Due to the aftermath surrounding this past weekend’s Nor’easter, the City of Peekskill Police Department would like to remind all who are planning on celebrating Halloween to be extra careful. There are numerous hazards, many of which still have not been identified, that can be attributed to the recent storm.

Parents are urged to only allow their children to trick or treat under very close adult supervision and in neighborhoods that have not been affected by downed trees and wires.

Downed wires and unstable trees present a significant danger and should be avoided at all costs. In addition, wet surfaces caused by melting snow are expected to freeze as the temperature drops after dark creating a significant slip and fall hazard.

While unfortunate, it may be best that parents keep their children home and plan alternate activities with close friends and relatives rather than risk the hazards left in the wake of the recent storm.
