This way you
can see cars
coming
towards you.
(my story)
 
Wear light-colored or reflective clothes if you are out at
dusk or at night. This makes is easier for drivers to see
you.
Walk with a friend or
responsible adult.
 
Don’t hitchhike or take rides
from any strangers.
A stranger is a person you don’t
know. They might ask you for
directions, find a lost pet.
A responsible adult would ask
another adult for help.

ALWAYS wear a seatbelt. It keeps
you from being thrown out of a
car in a crash.
People 12 or younger should
ride in the back seat.  This way
they will not be injured by the
air bags. Air bags are designed to
protect adults and they can hurt
smaller people.

Wearing several layers of clothing can
help keep you warm.
Gloves, hat, scarf, coat, shoes or boots
that keep out water.
Keep moving so your body will produce
heat.

cold temperatures.

Never swim alone: 
Swim with a buddy. Be sure
there is a lifeguard or another responsible
adult watching. If you have a problem while
swimming, the adult can get help.
Don’t run or push other people: 
You can knock
a person into the water who does not know
how to swim.
Never dive into any lake or river: 
Typically, you
cannot always see what’s in the water.  It might
be shallow or have other things like rocks and
tree branches you could dive into.
If you see someone in trouble in water
 
Call for help. Throw an object
that floats, stick or rope,
branch from a tree.
Do not go into the water to try
and save them by yourself.
Instead get a lifeguard or have
someone call 911.
