Dear fellow Hanoverians:
\nThe Hanover Woman\u2019s Club, Jrs. wants everyone in Hanover to stay
\nsafe and have therefore offered the following suggestions:
\n\u00b7 When out walking, jogging, riding a bike, pushing a baby carriage,
\ncutting through a parking lot, etc., you are not always visible to
\ndrivers. Put reflectors on the front and back wheels of bikes and the
\nback of the seat where car lights will pick up the reflectors. Try
\nputting them on the wheels of baby carriages.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 When you are out and about wear white, yellow or tan scarves,
\ngloves, mittens or hats. These colors stand out during the day and at
\nnight. They are especially needed in parking lots.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Runners, joggers and walkers should wear reflectors that can be
\nplaced on the arms or legs which are visible to auto head lights.
\nThese can be purchased at bike or athletic shops for around $6.00.
\nThis includes people who walk dogs early in the morning and at night
\nwhen it is dark.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 House numbers should be placed on your house and on your mail box.
\nA lot of mail boxes in Hanover are on one side of the street only. In
\nan emergency, police and fire departments can find your house faster
\nif they see your numbers.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Use BLOCK NUMBERS on your house and mail boxes. Save the fancy
\nnumbers for your mailing labels. It is much easier to read block
\nnumbers during the night and during bad weather.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 When outside your home always carry identification and a list of
\nmedications you are taking. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 Make up a list of all medications you take each day, both
\nprescription and over the counter drugs. Make three copies of this
\nform. Place each copy in a separate envelope marked \u201cmedication\u201d
\nand the name of the person taking the medication. Put one envelope on
\nyour refrigerator, one in your wallet and one in the glove compartment
\nof your car. Should anything happen to you, emergency personnel will
\nknow right away if you are allergic to medication, what medication you
\nare taking, and the dosage of the medication. When you go to your
\nhealth care provider, they always update your medications; ask them if
\nthey will provide you with a Xerox copy for this purpose. Ask them for
\n3 copies!!!<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Keep your doors and windows locked at home, in the garage and in
\nyour car. <\/p>\n
\u00b7 MAKE children wear bike helmets while riding bikes, skate boards,
\netc.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 MAKE everyone buckle up in the car. For some strange reason when
\nthe children of a Hanover Woman\u2019s Club, Jrs. member were young and
\nshe caught them in her rear mirror taking their seatbelts off, her car
\nalways went over to the curb and shut down! When the kids realized
\nthat the car wasn\u2019t moving and she suggested they recheck their
\nseatbelts to make sure they were fastened, and once they were,
\nmagically, the car started right up. Maybe your car does the same
\nthing!!<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Test the lights on your car. Do the directionals work in the front
\nas well as the back? Do your high beams work properly; are all the
\nlights working properly in front as well as the back? You are the
\ndriver of the auto; make sure everything works properly to keep the
\npeople inside your car safe as well as the people outside your car.<\/p>\n
REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CAN KEEP YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SAFE. <\/p>\n
