Summer Safety STORMS It's the time of year when severe weather concerns become thunderstorms, floods and tornadoes. Northwest Ambulance reminds you to make a severe weather plan. These severe weather conditions can cause massive damage to homes, boats, property, and lives. Be Prepared! At the onset of bad weather, tune into local radio. A weather "watch" means that severe weather is possible. A weather "warning" means that conditions have been spotted or indicated on radar. Get to safe shelter immediately. HOT WEATHER Summertime can be a very enjoyable season in Northeast Ohio. The hot weather can become extreme. During a heat wave, stay indoors in air conditioning if possible and avoid long periods of outdoor activity. Never leave children, the elderly, or pets alone in a parked car. If you become overheated during a "heat emergency" and do not have air conditioning, and you need relief, if shelters have not been opened you may come to the Northwest Ambulance District to cool down until a "heat emergency" shelter is opened. BICYCLE RIDING Bicycle riding is a great way to get exercise, fresh air, and time as a family. Please consider safety; helmets, obey the rules of the road, and use proper maintenance. These few simple precautions will make bike riding more enjoyable and safe. SWIMMING SAFETY We know that water attracts every one this time of year, so here are a few tips to keep you and your family safe; Teach your children how to swim safely and never leave a child unobserved, just a few seconds can result in an avoidable tragedy. Use sunscreen, drink plenty of water, and consider eye and foot protection. Never mix alcohol with swimming, diving, and boating. SUMMER DRIVING The summer months mean vacation time away from school for area children. Children will be more prevalent during the daylight hours and it is important to watch for children playing when you are driving. Please keep an eye out for children playing in driveways, near vehicles, and roads. Slow down in residential areas and near parks. Please watch for children playing and keep our communities and our children safe. SUN Too much sun can be harmful!! Be sure to use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher when spending time outdoors. Wear a hat and sunglasses to add further protection from overexposure. Remember: High temperatures plus high humidity plus physical work equals heat illness!! When the body is unable to cool itself through sweating, serious heat illnesses may occur. The most severe being heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Warning signs include headaches, dizziness, dry pale skin, and hot red skin that looks like sunburn. If you are trying to help a person who is over-heated and they do not feel better in a few minutes call for emergency help. Northwest Ambulance District Vincent T. Gildone
