Water is always a danger, especially to young children.

 

Protect Our children


  • Children can drown in as little as 1" of water; hazards include bathtubs, buckets, pools, bodies of water, etc.

  • Create barriers between your child and the water

  • Close, lock, and alarm all doors that lead to water

  • Remove toys from any pool to avoid temptation

  • Drain inflatable/kiddie pools, after each use and store upside down and out of reach

  • Remove ladders from above ground pools when not in use

  • Always assign an adult to watch the water without any distractions (phones, books, or socializing with other adults). Download a Water Watcher Card (www.safekids.org)

  • Drowning is preventable and affect all people regardless of their background

  • Many children drown when they were not expected to be in the water, so consider all of the possible hazards for your family and take precautions now.
