Prevent Drowning in Pools, Lakes and ... in Your Home.

• NEVER leave a baby or young child alone in a bathtub even for a second, even and even if you are using a bath seat or ring. There have been SEVERAL near drownings in OUR community in the past few years.
  
• ALWAYS keep the toilet lid down, and keep young children out of the bathroom when unsupervised. Also consider placing a latch on the bathroom door out of reach of young children.(Toilets are often overlooked as a drowning hazard in the home.)
  
• Be sure all containers that contain liquids are emptied immediately after use. Do not leave empty containers in yards or around the house where they may accumulate water and attract young children. (Buckets, often used for household chores, pose a serious threat to toddlers.)
  
• Childhood drowning deaths also occur in other containers that may contain liquids, including coolers, sinks, fish tanks, landscape ponds, spas and hot tubs.
  
• Learn CPR - it can be a lifesaver! Hatzalah of Crown heights will be hosting a CPR course in the future. If you would like to sign up for this course please click here.
