Timely Safety Tips

SUMMER SAFETY TIPS

Check weather forecast and dress appropriate for outdoor activities.
Wear hats, long sleeve loose clothing, and sunscreen between 11-3 p.m. during summer months to avoid heat illness and sunburn.
Keep extra water in your vehicle.
Keep food, water, flashlight and a blanket in your car.
Stay hydrated throughout the day, especially when engaging in strenuous activities. e.g. biking, hiking,outdoor sports.
Monitor children and older friends and family when outdoors for heat illness and sunburn.
When swimming, always assign one adult to supervise and monitor children. Never assume someone is watching them. Drowning is an avoidable death.
When using parks for camping, picnicing, hiking or boating, always ask park attendants for emergency numbers and park location in case you need help.
Ensure your cell phone works in parks or outdoor settings. Carry first aid supplies in your backpack.
Have an emergency plan in case you need help while on highways, at the cottage, or in a park.
When visiting smaller communities make a note of emergency numbers, local hospital emergency room locations, hours and phone contacts.
