Fireworks Safety

Besides red, white and blue, cook-outs, and the day off from work - the celebration of the 4th of July is synonymous with fireworks.

Whether you plan on attending festivities where fireworks will be featured or intend to shoot some off yourself, safety should be your top priority.

Heed these tips below to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable 4th!

• Obey all laws regarding the purchase and discharge of fireworks
• Read labels on fireworks before lighting
• Have a bucket of water and water hose nearby in case of emergency
• Always light and shoot fireworks one at a time
• Never relight a firework that did not go off the first time
• Do not point a firework at someone or throw a firework
• Fireworks should be handled by adults only
• Avoid alcohol use when lighting and discharging fireworks
• Dispose of used fireworks by thoroughly wetting and storing in a metal trash can overnight

Water Safety

Hot weather often means finding relief in the water. Whether it’s the ocean, pool or lake, follow these tips for a fun and healthy summer!

• Never swim alone. Always enjoy the water with a buddy.
• When boating always wear a life jacket! Don’t rely on life jackets alone. Make sure everyone knows how to swim.
• Make sure children are always supervised by another adult – even with life guards present.
• Stay away from pipes or drains.
• Ensure that everyone stays hydrated and continues reapplying sunscreen.
• If you have a pool at home make sure it is protected by at least a 4 foot fence, keep furniture and toys away from the pool.
• For an additional precaution – become certified in CPR through your local hospitals or Red Cross.

Enjoy the Night!

One of the great things about the warm weather is the new uses of your indoor and outdoor living space. Don't forget how much fun can be had just right in your own backyard.
No matter your yard size, having your own little piece of earth is an amazing privilege.

Take advantage of the warm, clear evenings to do some stargazing from home.  Here are a few ways to get the best view.


1. Set up a comfy viewing area. Bring out a blanket, some snacks or drinks, pull on a sweatshirt and gaze from your favorite outdoor chair.

2. Check the weather report. Pick a clear night when the moon isn't full - it may be too bright to see the stars around it.

3. Start with the unaided eye. There is so much to see without needing a telescope or fancy equipment. Look online to see what stars are out and easiest to see this time of year. If you want to see further, use a pair of binoculars to start.

4. Relax and wait. Give your eyes between 5 to 30 minutes to adjust to the outdoor evening light.

5. Record what you see. Keep a journal of what you see including constellations, planets or shooting stars.

Stay Cool This Summer

Looking for creative ways to beat the summer heat? We’ve got a few!  So take a break from the A/C for a while and try one of these new ways to keep cool.

1. Adjust ceiling fans so they run counter-clockwise pulling hot air up and away!
2. For a quick cool down play ice packs on pressure points at your wrists, neck, elbows and behind the knees.
3. Drink a glass of water before bed to make sure you’re well hydrated and comfortable.
4. Choose cotton clothing and sheets over synthetics.
5. Keep your blinds and curtains drawn during the day to keep out the warming effects of sunlight.
6. Take a lukewarm shower before bed – too cold and your body will overcompensate by creating more heat.
7. Visualize the cool! Close your eyes and think of a wintry, snowy landscape. This mental image will cause a cooling reaction in your body.

Storm Prep

May 30th marked the official start to the 2015 Hurricane Season which runs through November 30th.
Fortunately forecasters are predicting a below average storm season.  Though hopefully our area will be spared any significant storms, summer is a good time to make sure your home and family are prepared for bad weather of any kind. Read on for a few tips to keep your family and property safe from inclement weather.

Outdoor Prep:
Keep trees and shrubs trimmed to prevent damage from strong winds
When storms are predicted, bring in and outdoor furniture or décor
Know your evacuation routes in case of a major emergency

Food Safety:
Have a three day supply of non-perishable food items at all times. Make sure a working manual can opener is also available.
An appropriate water supply is 1 gallon per person per day for at least three days.
In the event that you lose power, keep your refrigerator and freezer closed as much as possible. They will stay cold for about 4 hours. Make sure the temperature in the refrigerator stays below 40 degrees.

Emergency Kit:
Have a household emergency kit including
Battery powered or hand cranked radio
Flashlight and batteries
Matches in a waterproof container
First aid supplies
Moist towlettes and garbage bags
Paper and pencil
Important family documents and contact numbers
Required medicines

Being prepared is the number one way you can protect your family from bad weather.  For more information visit the National Weather Service page on Hurricane Preparedness here - http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/prepare/ready.php
