Are you planning to head out to the NBA Championship Parade? Here are some tips to consider about reunification and general parade safety. 

• If you have children with you, take a group selfie before heading out. In the event that anyone gets separated, you’ll have an up-to-date photo of the missing person and what they are wearing.
• Use a Buddy System. Appoint group leaders who can keep account of different members of the group through the parade. 
• Have a meeting place. Make sure everyone knows where to meet in case anyone gets lost. Don't rely on mobile devices since service is not always guaranteed in large crowds; plus, phones die.
• Instruct your children to go to a police officer if they become lost.
• Travel in groups to and from parking spots and be aware of your surroundings. Leave nothing of value in plain sight in your car.
• Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly.
• Bring Food and Water. During a big event with a lot of foot traffic, restaurants and stores can become inaccessible.
