Help Create Safer, More Accessible Communities
Safe and accessible communities help people remain active, connected, and independent as they age.
If you notice a safety concern—such as a broken railing, uneven sidewalk, poor lighting, an inaccessible entrance, or a spill in a public space—report it. Taking action can help prevent injuries and improve accessibility for everyone.
- In private spaces, report hazards to the owner or manager.
- In public spaces, contact your municipality or city department.
One report can make a difference. By speaking up, you can help create safer and more inclusive communities for people of all ages.
