The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds the public that standup paddleboarders in Wisconsin are required to have wearable life jackets of the appropriate sizes for each on board. Those age 12 and younger must wear their life jackets while paddling on federally managed waters.
Wearing a life jacket makes smart safety sense for all paddlers regardless of age or the law of the water.
Paddler Safety Tips
• Stay sober.
• Take a standup paddleboarding safety course through the American Canoe Association.
• Paddle with a pal and let a third party know when and where you’re heading.
• Check the weather and know the wind direction.
• Match your outing with your skills. Steer clear of waterbodies with lots of traffic as waves will make for a bumpy, possible dangerous outing for you.
• Get a dry bag for energy bars, sunscreen, first aid items, waterproof flashlight, and a waterproof holder for a cell phone.
• Wear a whistle.
• Wear an ankle leash in the event you fall off.

Each July 4th, thousands of people, most often children and teens, are injured while using consumer fireworks. Despite the dangers of fireworks, few people understand the associated risks - devastating burns, other injuries, fires, and even death.
Fireworks started an estimated 19,500 fires in 2018, including 1,900 structure fires, 500 vehicle fires, and 17,100 outside and other fires. These fires caused five deaths, 46 civilian injuries, and $105 million in direct property damage.

NSHD Healthy Highlight 6/29/22: Understanding Heat Index - http://ow.ly/RTXr50JKXsB
Heat index measures level of discomfort a person (on average) experiences due to combined effects of temperature and air humidity.
Getting too hot can make you sick. You can become ill from the heat if your body can’t compensate for it and properly cool you off.
High humidity and personal factors can affect the body’s ability to cool itself during extremely hot weather.
• High humidity. When the humidity is high, sweat won’t evaporate as quickly. This keeps your body from releasing heat as fast as it may need to.
• Personal factors. Age, obesity, fever, dehydration, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, sunburn, and prescription drug and alcohol use all can play a role in whether a person can cool off enough in very hot weather.
Extreme heat exposure can cause heat stress, and result in heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, or heat rashes.
Keeping Cool in Heat
• Drink more water than usual, avoiding sugary beverages. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water.
• Stay cool in an air-conditioned area. Fans are helpful but don’t rely on them as a main cooling device.
• Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothes.
• Don’t use a stove or oven to cook, as it will make the house hotter.
• Check on friends and neighbors.
The OSHA-NIOSH Heat Safety Tool is a useful resource for planning outdoor work activities based on how hot it feels throughout the day: http://ow.ly/QO0z50JKXsF
