The end of year festivities bring with them crowds, trips and celebrations that last until late into the night. According to statistics, December records an increase in incidents related to crowds and night travel. But this doesn't mean you should stop enjoying yourself; It means celebrating in a conscious and prepared way.
Safety tips for Christmas Eve and New Year
1. Plan your transfers in advance
- Before leaving: Define how you will get there and how you will return home. Avoid improvising transfers in the early morning.
- Transportation apps: If you use apps, always check the license plate and driver information before getting on.
- Share your location: Turn on location sharing with trusted family or friends.
Tip ALARA: With your ALARA device, your emergency contacts can see your location in real time only if you need it, without losing your privacy.
2. If you travel out of the city
- Tell someone: Share your itinerary with family: where you will be, with whom and when you return.
- Check coverage: Make sure your phone will have signal where you will be celebrating.
- Bring the essentials: Portable battery, emergency contact information and your personal safety device.
Tip ALARA: Our devices work with global coverage. Wherever you are, your emergency signal arrives.
3. In mass celebrations
- Define a meeting point: If you go to massive events (concerts, public squares), agree with your group where to meet in case you get separated.
- Keep your phone charged: Your cell phone battery is your connection to the world. Get it to 100% before you go out.
- Don't lose sight of your belongings: Crossbody bags at the front, wallet in internal pockets.
Tip ALARA: Unlike the cell phone that you need to charge constantly, your ALARA has a 12-month battery. One less worry.
4. If you celebrate at the home of friends or family
- Communicate where you will be: Even if it is a familiar environment, someone must know your location.
- Set a return time: And let us know if there are changes in plans.
- Take care of your consumption: Stay in control so you can make conscious decisions about your safety.
5. Be careful with social networks
- Don't post in real time: Wait until you are home to share your photos. Posting your exact location while you're away can be risky.
- Deactivate geolocation: From your posts, especially if you will be away for several days.
- Don't announce that your house is empty: Avoid phrases like "headed to the beach for a week."
Checklist: The essentials before leaving
Before you go out to celebrate, check what you have with you:
✅ Charged phone (100% battery)
✅ Personal safety device (ALARA)
✅ Location sharing enabled
✅ Emergency contact details saved
✅ Defined transfer plan (round trip)
✅ Cash (in case technology fails)
✅ Identification and important medical information (if applicable)
Peace of mind is the best gift
This end of the year, give yourself the chance to enjoy yourself without worries. Personal safety is not about living in fear, but about having the tools to celebrate freely.
Because you deserve to dance until dawn, travel to that place you wanted to know so much, and toast surrounded by your loved ones without anything clouding the moment.
