Who doesn't love a good summer storm? All thunderstorms are dangerous. Every thunderstorm produces lightning. While lightning fatalities have decreased over the past 30 years, lightning continues to be one of the top three storm-related killers in the United States.

As the weather warms up and trips to the park become frequent, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the risks on playgrounds and how you can prevent injuries. Each year, more than 200,000 children go to the hospital ER with injuries associated with playground equipment.

Sweet summertime, when kids are out of school for the summer and looking to earn some money and have some fun. With the economy the way it is, it shouldn't be hard to find a job they can work at over the summer and learn some responsibility and saving!

As families and kiddos head out into the water for primetime swimming season, it's a good reminder for parents to remind and educate children about how to stay safe in the water. Remember the ABCs - 

A is for Adult Supervision

B is for Barriers

C is for Classes

Living through a home renovation is difficult for adults, but add children, and expect a whole new level of challenges that require some extra thought about safety.

Most precautions are common sense. Children will be curious about new people and things in their home. It's important to keep them well-supervised, and out of the way of contractors and equipment.

During the summer months, it’s important to stay vigilant and aware of heat-related illnesses and potential heat risks. Older adults and children are especially at risk of heat stroke or exhaustion. And don't forget about our furry friends that also are very susceptible to heat stroke and over-heating!

It's crazy to think that we are already halfway through the year! Check out these quick tips to keep your home running efficiently and safely. Check out the suggested "summer" home tips, and as always, check your smoke alarm batteries!

This list compiles checks that should be done monthly as well, so you can always be up to date in your home!

Summer is the time to have outdoor fun with our dogs. Longer walks in the park, ambitious hikes, beach days, or family travel—the sun is shining, and the outdoors is calling.
But hot weather can also make us uncomfortable, and it poses special risks for dogs. From increased exposure to ticks and other insects to sunburn and even heatstroke, all sorts of things can go wrong for your dog in summer.

American Humane celebrates Adopt-A-Cat Month® each June – a month that also marks the height of “kitten season,” when large litters of kittens are born and often end up in animal shelters.

More than ever, they need our help. Not only are thousands of newborn kittens joining the millions of cats already in shelters, but a lack of foot traffic, funding and supplies at many shelters struggling to maintain operations after the COVID-19 pandemic further threaten these beautiful animals and their hopes to find a forever home.

Family Watchdog is now highlighting four random cases from National Center for Missing and Exploited Children so we can bring the awareness of our children missing in the United States. We highly encourage you to visit their website and search in your area to see what children are missing and what you can do to help. Do not approach missing children unless the child is in danger, always call 911 or 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678)

 

Each month we will randomly choose four missing children's cases from the NCMEC website. You can submit a missing children's case to us possibly highlight in one of our newsletters by emailing us.
