Since I talk about safety every month, I thought I would try to come up with some ideas for you to use yourselves to promote safety in your home, neighborhood, or community.

June is National Safety Month

 

 

At Home

• Put together or clean out your first aid kit. Things dry out and need to be replaced regularly.
• Clean out your medicine cabinet and gather expired medications. Properly discard them at your local sheriff department or your pharmacy can help.
• Check around your home for any needed repairs: lose or frayed wires, extension cord overuse, lose boards or gates, etc.
• Practice drills for different events: fire, medical emergency, tornado, etc.

In Your Neighborhood

• Teach someone to change a tire or check the oil level in their car.
• Help an elderly neighbor trim trees back from their house.
• Take a nighttime walk to see if all streetlights or path lights are working and report those that aren’t to the city or your HOA.

In Your Community

• Take a CPR class.
• Take a defensive driving course.
• Volunteer for an emergency preparedness event.

Of course, if you are in need of a CPR class or help in keeping your family safe, June would be the perfect time to contact Home Hazard Prevention! Have a safe and enjoyable month!
