One drowning per day last summer.
As the weather heats up, it’s important to take extra care to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
Whether you’re dealing with a heatwave, hitting the road, or enjoying some time by the water, here are some key tips to keep in mind.
During heatwaves, drink plenty of water, wear light clothing, and apply sunscreen. Avoid the sun between 10 AM and 4 PM for added protection.
When driving, check your vehicle before you head out, take regular breaks to stay alert, and always buckle up.
If you’re near water, supervise children, understand your swimming limitations, and wear life jackets when fishing or boating.
Let’s make this summer safe and fun.
Stay cool, stay smart, and enjoy the season.
If you’re in need of assistance but unsure if you need an emergency department.
