Safety Tips for Spring

While you enjoy exploring more outdoors, don't forget to stay safe!

Watch the Weather
Alabama's mild climate makes opting outside a consistent choice; however, this spring check the forecast. Showers and storms can pop-up quickly, so be prepared and dress accordingly.

Stay Hydrated
Hydrate before, during and after those great hikes and bike rides! Take more water than you think, in case of emergencies, and if you begin to feel weak, it's best to turn around and trek back to the trailhead.

Stay Connected
Carry a mobile phone! That way, you can reach emergency personnel if needed or search an area map for more places to explore.

Stay Together
Although quiet time is nice, hike with others or at least tell someone where you are and when.

Most of All, don't be that person who wasn't training and prepared! Don't ignore your medical conditions or safety suggestions. Be responsible and have the most fun!
