💙 May is National Trauma Awareness Month, and this week we’re highlighting the importance of water safety.

Drowning is fast.
Drowning is silent.
And it can happen when we least expect it.

As families spend more time near pools, lakes, and beaches, taking simple precautions can save lives. Active supervision, swim lessons, life jackets, pool barriers, and learning CPR are all important layers of protection. Most importantly — never assume someone else is watching.

Please take a few minutes to review these water safety resources from the National Drowning Prevention Alliance and help keep our children, families, and communities safe this summer. 💧

May is National Trauma Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about injury prevention and protecting lives. This year’s theme, “Stay Focused. Stay Safe.”, reminds us how important it is to stay alert in our everyday activities.

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing safety tips and reminders to help keep you and our community safe.

In 2023 alone, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that 7,314 pedestrians were killed and more than 68,000 pedestrians were injured nationwide.

Whether you’re behind the wheel or on foot, staying aware of your surroundings can save lives. A single moment of distraction can change everything.
