Safe Travels

It’s raining here in South Florida, and we want you and your family to have a safe trip. Whether going on vacation or just out grocery shopping, always be prepared.

For parents with children that are still in car seats, get a bright neon sticker and write on it all of your child’s vital information: name, known allergies, medication that they take, illnesses and the phone number of an emergency contact. Then affix the sticker to the side of the car seat. If you are rendered unconscious in an accident, first responders will immediately know all of the information about your child. And the neon makes it easier to see if the car is filled with smoke.

Also, make sure you keep a first aid kit in your car, as well as emergency essentials such as a bottle of water (not for drinking), and a flashlight. It’s also a good idea to keep a charged cell phone; as long as it has a charge, you can use it to call 911. Finally, apply sunscreen to your kids while they are in the car; they can get a sunburn through the window.

Have a safe trip!
