Celebrating Safely: New Year's Eve Tips

New Year’s Eve is a time to celebrate the end of the year and the start of a new one. While it is important to have fun and enjoy the holiday, it is also important to celebrate safely and responsibly. Here are some tips for celebrating New Year’s Eve safely.

Plan ahead: If you plan to attend a New Year’s Eve party or event, plan ahead and arrange a safe and sober way to get home. Designate a sober driver or consider using a ride-sharing service or public transportation.

Use caution with fireworks: If you are planning to use fireworks to celebrate the New Year, make sure to use caution and follow all safety guidelines. Never point or throw fireworks at people; use them in a clear and open area.

Be mindful of open flames: Candles, cigarettes, and other open flames can be a fire hazard on New Year’s Eve. Ensure you extinguish all open flames before leaving the room or going to bed and use caution with lighters and matches.

Keep an eye on your drinks: If you are planning to drink alcohol on New Year’s Eve, keep an eye on your drinks to prevent being drugged or intoxicated. Never leave your drink unattended and consider switching to non-alcoholic beverages after a certain point in the evening.

Stay safe and sober: It is important to stay safe and sober on New Year’s Eve. Avoid drinking and driving, and make sure to arrange for a sober ride home. Remember, the consequences of drinking and driving can be severe and include injury or death.

Following these safety tips can help ensure that you and those around you have a safe and enjoyable New Year’s Eve celebration.

Johnathan created the earliest version of what’s known as LAIT911 today in early 2021 – looking for a way to collate data on the major, destructive incidents that occur each day and greatly impact our public safety. With massive public interest in his research, Johnathan began to open his data to the public, offering it via a custom-built web application. As interest grew, he realized that the data at hand can serve a great humanitarian purpose of keeping communities informed in disaster. Johnathan continues to serve on the Board of Directors and as the charity’s Director of Operations, donating his time and continuing to further the reach of LAIT911’s resources.
