Summer safety checklist

Summer is made for fun in the sun! In the midst of family vacations, stay-cations, outdoor adventures, and more, making sure you and your family are safe is always the most important.

Use our summer safety checklist to head into your summer with ease! These tips will help you stay prepared for any adventure:

Travel safety

  • Maintain proper air pressure in your tires and all your summer toys
  • Check your car’s fluid levels and air filters
  • Have your car battery checked
  • Make sure your first aid kit is well equipped with your essentials

Water safety

  • Practice proper water supervision, even in shallow water, especially if there isn’t a lifeguard on duty
