OUTDOOR SAFETY


Before you head outdoors for summer fun, consider safety first:

Always carry plenty of water with you, and drink at least eight 
ounces for every hour you're outdoors to prevent dehydration and 
overheating.

Know the warning signs of heat exhaustion: dizziness, clammy 
skin, nausea, and muscle cramps to name a few. If you suspect this 
condition, move to a cool place and rehydrate.

When in the sun, wear a hat and protect your skin. Wear sunscreen 
with an SPF rating of 15 or greater, and reapply after you've been 
in the water or engaged in strenuous physical activity.

website.
