With summer right around the corner and temperatures beginning to rise, the coming months are sure to offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy some of Ohio’s many outdoor treasures. Whether you enjoy camping, fishing, boating or a day at one of our beautiful state parks, proper preparation and safety remain of the utmost importance.
To help Ohioans prepare for the summer season, the Ohio Department of Health has made available a list of safety tips that is sure to include helpful advice for all ages. Helpful tips regarding sun protection and heat exhaustion are sure to benefit beachgoers and outdoor athletes, while information on grilling and food safety should prove useful to all of us.
The complete list can be found at the following link: http://www.odh.ohio.gov/features/odhfeatures/summersafety.aspx
In addition, the Ohio Committee for Sever Weather Awareness website offers information to help citizens better understand the heat and weather advisories we often see on the news. Their site can be found at: http://www.weathersafety.ohio.gov/SpringSummerWeatherTerms.aspx.
Summer is a time in which we all enjoy reconnecting with family, friends, and neighbors through various get-togethers and events. However, it’s important for all of us to prepare appropriately before taking part in all the fun the season has to offer.
