Protecting our children starts with everyday habits at home 🧸🪁
In honor of National Preparedness Month, here are five essential ways parents and caregivers can protect our youth:
• Home & Environment: Secure heavy furniture, childproof living spaces, and keep household hazards out of reach.
• Active Supervision: Keep a watchful eye during public outings and closely monitor online activity.
• Emergency Readiness: Teach kids how and when to dial 911, memorize their home address, and identify trusted adults like officers, firefighters, or teachers.
• Lifesaving Skills: Learn infant and child CPR so you can respond quickly in a crisis.
• Road & Traffic Safety: Practice street safety early—teach kids to look both ways, use crosswalks, and stay alert around vehicles.
Protecting our children ensures the future and well-being of our entire community—making child safety everyone’s responsibility.
