A few basic summer safety tips can help protect your family all summer long.

Here’s advice from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

• When on or near water, everyone should wear a life jacket approved by the U.S. Coast Guard.
• Wear a hat with a wide brim, and use sunscreen any time you are outside.
• Even if you’re not thirsty, drink plenty of water throughout the day.
• Apply insect repellent before you go outdoors.
• Wash your hands frequently.
