Dear NLACRC Community member,
As we enter the warmer months, it’s important to take a moment to discuss the safety measures surrounding water and heat. Whether you’re enjoying a day by the pool, planning a beach trip, or simply soaking up the sunshine outdoors, safety should always be a top priority.
Here are a few friendly reminders to ensure you and your loved ones stay safe and hydrated during this season:
- Stay Hydrated: Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day, especially if you’re spending time outdoors or engaging in physical activities. Dehydration can sneak up on you, so keep a water bottle handy.
- Sun Protection: Use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Reapply sunscreen every few hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
- Pool and Water Safety: If you’re swimming or near water, always keep an eye on children and inexperienced swimmers. Ensure they wear appropriate floatation devices if needed, and never leave them unattended near water.
- Heat Awareness: Be mindful of heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. If you or anyone around you shows symptoms like excessive sweating, dizziness, nausea, or confusion, move to a cooler place and seek medical help if necessary.
- Safe Practices: Whether it’s grilling outdoors or enjoying a bonfire, practice fire safety at all times. Keep a safe distance from open flames and ensure all fires are fully extinguished before leaving the area.
By staying vigilant and following these simple precautions, we can all enjoy a safe and enjoyable summer season.
Here’s to a wonderful summer filled with fun and safety!
