Dedicated to water safety

SRP is proud to partner with Phoenix Children’s Hospital to teach Valley residents about water safety and defend against drownings. With summer to-dos and distractions, August can be an especially dangerous time of year.

Keep your family safe by learning and practicing these tips:

• Remove phones, tablets, TVs and other electronic distractions from around the pool.
• Designate water watchers who take responsibility for watching swimmers in the water and switch being on watch every 15 minutes.
• Purchase U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets, learn how to properly fit them on children and stow them nearby for easy pool or boat access.
• Don’t leave furniture or large toys near a pool fence. Children may use them to climb over the fence.
• Check all door and window locks, including pet doors. Leave nothing open that leads to a pool.
• Learn how to perform CPR on infants, children and adults.

Stay cool with heat relief resources

As temperatures in the Valley climb into the triple digits, so can heat-related illness. SRP and several community partners are joining together to support regional heat relief efforts in our community through the Heat Relief Network.

Heat relief resources are available at 211arizona.org, including an interactive map showing cooling centers and hydration stations that are open to the public, as well as donation sites for water drop-offs throughout the Valley with the goal of preventing heat-related illnesses.

Below are a few tips to avoid heat-related illness:

• Increase fluid intake regardless of activity level. Staying hydrated is extremely important.
• Limit exercise or outdoor activity between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
• When outdoors, wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 and reapply often. Wear a hat, lightweight clothing and sunglasses.
• Rest frequently in shady or cool areas to give your body’s temperature a chance to recover and cool down.
• Never leave adults, children or pets inside a parked vehicle.
• Respectfully check on elderly neighbors to make sure their air conditioning is working and in use. Take advantage of free air conditioning by visiting locations like shopping malls, the library or other heat refuge locations.
