Hello, Katy families! June is National Safety Month—a great time to swap the batteries in your smoke alarms and freshen up that dusty first-aid kit.
First-Aid Kit Essentials (Check Expirations)
- Bandages, gauze, antibiotic ointment, sterile gloves
- Elastic wrap, instant cold packs, tweezers, scissors
- Digital thermometer, hydrocortisone cream, antihistamines
- Pain relievers in both adult and children’s doses
Create a Simple Emergency Plan
- Family Contacts – Post 911, Poison Control, pediatrician, plus two out-of-town relatives.
- Meeting Spots – One right outside your home, another outside the neighborhood.
- Role Assignments – Who grabs the kit? Who corrals kids or pets? Who calls 911?
- Practice – Run a 10-minute fire or weather drill twice a year—make it a game for the kids.
Summer-Specific Safety Reminders
- Lock pool gates; keep rescue float and hook visible.
- Grill 10 ft from the house; keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
- Helmets on every bike or scooter ride.
- Leave fireworks shows to the pros.
