Enjoy the Summer - General Safety Tips

Everyone loves summer vacation with its lazy days, picnics, swimming, biking, visits to the park, and more. A few simple reminders can make your summer a safe one.

Storm Safety for Summer

Summer is also the season of lightning storms and other weather events. From tornados to dust storms, safety training for severe weather can make a big difference in the health and security of your family. Take some time to review the basics, including assembling an emergency supply kit and assigning a meeting spot in the safest area of your home.

Fire Safety

Whether you're gathered around the backyard fire pit or toasting marshmallows on a camping trip, knowing where and how to safely build a fire, as well as how to put out a fire that gets out of control, can keep you and your children safe.

Bike Safety

Kids and adults alike love riding bikes in the summer. As part of your seasonal safety discussion, don't forget to include practical bike safety like choosing a bike that fits and wearing a helmet. Teaching and enforcing bike safety in your family can save lives.

Summer Heat Safety

In addition to its burning potential, the sun can also cause people to overheat, particularly in the long, hot summer days. Observing safety tips can help prevent heatstroke and dehydration during fun activities or outside work.
