Countdown is an activity to count down the last seconds before the transition from the old year to the new year, taking place on the night of December 31 with music programs, performances and outdoor events attracting many participants.
In that exciting atmosphere, careful preparation in terms of health, traffic safety, property and communication plans is necessary for everyone to fully enjoy the moment of welcoming the new year.
Maintain health, eat well before participating
Because the waiting time for the countdown moment will be from about 7 pm to over 9 pm, the roads are crowded and restaurants are almost empty. Therefore, everyone needs to prepare very carefully, eat and drink fully before going to avoid fatigue and not have the strength to "party" to welcome the new year.
Choose a suitable location in advance and arrive earlier than expected
To get a satisfactory position, people should go earlier than the time of the event. Especially for families with young children, going early, grasping the area diagram in advance, entrances - exits will help avoid jostling and pushing when the number of people flocking in is large.
Maintain traffic safety, limit alcohol consumption
Although it is a year-end event, everyone still needs to strictly comply with traffic laws, drive in the correct lane, do not speed or overtake recklessly. In particular, absolutely do not drive after using alcohol or beer.
Choosing public transport, sharing a car or asking relatives to pick you up and drop you off is a safe and civilized solution to end the fun night completely.
Preserve personal property, be vigilant in crowded places
The number of people flocking to the countdown location will be very crowded, difficult to control, and this is also a very easy time for theft to occur.
Everyone should bring as few valuable items as possible, preserve them and always keep an eye on their items, avoid dropping them or leaving them somewhere you don't remember.
Keep in touch and agree on a meeting point
With large groups of friends, getting lost in the middle of a sea of people is easy to happen. Before participating in the event, members should agree on a specific appointment point in case of being separated from the group.
Phones need to be fully charged, and you can bring a spare battery to ensure continuous nightly contact. For young children, parents should pre-enter contact information or give them bracelets with phone numbers to prevent emergencies.
