It’s time to Beat The Heat! If you are thirsty, your body is likely already dehydrated. Here are some additional signs of dehydration:... Dry mouth and cracked lips Infrequent urination or dark-colored urine Headaches or blurred vision Muscle cramping It's important to stay hydrated during the summer days, so be sure to use these helpful tips and pointers. Dress Light: Wear loose-fitting clothing. Eat Light: Avoid hot foods and heavy meals. Stay Safe: Never leave infants, children or pets in parked cars. Drink Water: Avoid alcohol and liquids with large amounts of sugar. Cool Down: Take a cool shower or bath. Stay Cool: Be sure to use A/C while indoors. Read Up: Stay informed and learn how much water your body needs.

With the summer months here and pools open across all of our neighborhoods, please keep these pool safety tips in mind and review them with your family. Never go into the water alone. Make sure an adult and/or parent is present at all times. Ensure that all pools have locked and alarmed fences surrounding them.... Walk, don't run. Running increases chances of slips and falls on wet surfaces, resulting in serious injury. Keep the pool covered when not in use. Clear the pool of toys so kids aren't tempted to enter unsupervised. If a child is missing in the home, be sure to check the pool area first. Keep rescue equipment and a first aid kit by the pool. Keep Hatzalah's phone number handy and displayed on the phone closest to the pool. Ensure important info (address, family name, Hatzalah's emergency info, etc.) is listed boldly on the walls surrounding the pool area. It's tempting to spend hours lounging in the pool. Remember to drink water during the day & to apply sunscreen. If you're not a comfortable swimmer, take lessons. They're a fun way to feel more confident on pool days.

With the summer months here, be sure to keep these bicycle safety tips in mind. Do a safety check each time you ride your bike. Be aware of your surroundings. Obey all traffic rules, signs, and speed limits. Use safety gear (helmet, headlamp, reflective devices) and wear bright colored clothing.... Ensure bikes are not parked by fire hydrants, alarm boxes, extinguishers, in corridors, stairwells, doorways, or any other place that would interfere with access to or from buildings. Enjoy the fresh air, exercise, and reduced stress that comes with biking! See more
