Summer Safety

July 19, 2023

Summer is here! The hot weather provides opportunities for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. While enjoying the outdoors, it's important to remember to be sun smart every day!

Follow these tips to have a fun and safe summer:

  • Drink water to stay hydrated.
  • Wear a hat and sunglasses while outside.
  • Keep cool in extreme heat.
  • Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 15. Don’t forget to reapply!
  • No matter your age, never swim alone.
  • Apply mosquito repellent. If you use both sunscreen and mosquito repellent, apply sunscreen first.
  • Stay in the shade, especially during the hours of 10am-4pm.
  • Drain standing water. It only takes a bottle cap of water for some mosquitoes to breed and multiply.
