Proactive Steps to Reduce Red Zone Risk

1. Always Keep Your Drink in Hand: Never accept a drink that’s already open or that you didn't see being made and consider using a drink cover. Did you know the lid from a coffee cup also fits over a red solo cup?
2. Plan Your Night Out: Where are you going? Who are you going with? Who will be there? How am I getting home? Share these plans with someone who isn’t going, so they can check in if needed.
3. Carry a Self-Defense Tool: Carrying a personal safety tool can provide an added layer of protection and give you a way to defend yourself if needed.
4. Lock Your Doors: It’s simple but often forgotten. Even when you’re stepping outside for a quick second, always bring your key and make sure your door is locked.
5. Trust Your Gut: If something feels unsafe, it probably is.
