Hazard Preparedness
Find Shade
Prevent dangerous heatstroke and conserve energy by actively seeking shade during the hottest parts of the desert day. Utilize natural formations (rocks, trees) or create makeshift shade, and plan strenuous activity for cooler times.
- Actively seek out natural shade sources such as cliffs, large boulders, caves, or the north side of dense vegetation during the hottest part of the day (typically late morning to late afternoon).
- If natural shade is unavailable, use a tarp, emergency blanket, or clothing to create artificial shade.
- Rest in the shade to conserve energy and water.
Emergency Flotation Devices
Improve water safety by ensuring personal flotation devices (PFDs) like life jackets are available and used correctly, especially when boating or swimming. Keep throwable flotation aids accessible on beaches. Teach children safe usage.
- Wear a properly fitting, Coast Guard-approved life jacket (PFD) when boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, or in potentially hazardous water conditions.
- Ensure children wear appropriate PFDs near any water.
- Have throwable flotation devices (e.g., ring buoy, flotation cushion) readily accessible on boats and piers.
