Hotel Precautions

  • Locate emergency exits and walk the route at least once.

  • If someone unexpectedly knocks and asks to enter your room, call the front desk.

  • Store valuables in the room safe if one is available.

  • Request a room above ground level for security but low enough for emergencies.

  • Always use the deadbolt and other locks while in your room.

Research Your Destination

  • Plan your transportation from the airport to your hotel ahead of time.

  • Familiarize yourself with the route between your hotel and the Convention Center.

When Out and About

  • Always confirm your driver’s name and the vehicle details before entering.

  • Walk in groups whenever possible, especially at night.

  • Stay in well-lit, populated areas and avoid isolated streets.
