Hug A Tree and Survive!

Summer is here! These four key rules work to ensure kids have the knowledge and training needed to safely enjoy the outdoors and their communities this summer:

• Tell an adult where you're going: Always tell a trusted adult where you're going, who you're going with and when you'll be back. You can do this in person, over the phone, by text message or leaving a note in a place they will find it.
• If you're lost, "hug-a-tree" and stay put: A tree can protect you from the elements when you're outdoors, and most importantly keeps you in one place. Depending on where you are, there may not always be a tree. Perhaps your "tree" can be a large rock or a bench. No matter what your landmark is, it's important to stay put in order to stay safe. _Hey adults, same goes for you. If you call 9-1-1 from the trails - stay put so we can find you quickly!
• Keep warm and dry: Temperatures change throughout the day, and can drop at night. Even if you're warm during the day, pack a jacket in case you must spend longer-than-planned on the trails. If you get cold, pull up your hood or put on your hat, tuck your shirt in, tuck pant legs into your sock and zip up your jacket. You can also keep warm by building a nest to keep you off the ground or by building an emergency shelter.
• Help searchers find you by answering their calls: Whether searchers are parents or first responders, they just want to get you home safely. Answering back to their calls by making noise and signally, so you can be heard and seen. Make sure to leave lots of footprints and clues, so searchers can follow your tracks to you.

Until next month, stay safe!
