COEXISTING WITH NATURE

 
Following this week's alligator incident in the St. Lucie River, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds everyone to stay safe while enjoying Florida’s inland waterways:

• Keep your distance. If you see an alligator, observe from afar.
• Keep pets leashed and away from the water. Pets can resemble natural prey and attract alligators.
• Be mindful of dusk and dawn. Alligators are most active during these hours. Swim only in designated areas during daylight, and never swim with your pet.
• Don’t feed alligators. It’s illegal—and dangerous. Feeding them makes them lose their natural fear of people.

Florida residents are generally used to coexisting with wildlife, but caution is key. If you’re concerned about an alligator, contact FWC’s Nuisance Alligator Hotline at (866) 392-4286. They’ll send a licensed trapper to evaluate the situation.
Stay safe—and stay wild aware!

PUBLIC HEALTH

 
Drowning happens when you least expect it. In Florida, drowning is one of the leading causes of preventable death in children 1-4 years of age. To reduce the risk of drowning, use multiple layers of protection and restrict unsupervised access to water sources such as pools, hot tubs, canals, ponds, ditches, bathtubs, toilets and more.
Layers of Protection
Supervise
Proper supervision is the most effective drowning prevention.
·        Know your surroundings and possible drowning risks to your child at home and when traveling.
·        Ensure young children are always supervised by a trusted caregiver.
·        Assign a Water Watcher and use touch-supervision.
·        Never leave a child alone near water, even for a second.
 
Barriers & Alarms
Use barriers to water access.
·        Install and maintain 4-foot pool fencing and self-closing, self-latching gates and doors.
·        Secure and lock all doors, windows and pet doors.
·        Install door chimes or alarms
·        Routinely check for needed repairs to fencing, gates and barriers.
 
Swim Safety
·        Seconds count! CPR training saves lives.
·        Water survival skills training and swim lessons can help reduce drowning risk for children between the ages 1-4.
·        By their 4th birthday, most children are ready for swim lessons.
·        Swim lessons are not a replacement for supervision.
·        Make a family drowning prevention plan and ensure all family members know how to swim.
 
Did You Know?
·        While most child drowning incidents occur in a pool, near 70% of those children were not expected to be in the pool at that time.
·        Distracted caregivers are a primary factor in child drowning incidents.
·        Most drowning happens without a sound.
·        Drowning incidents are preventable.
