June is Child Safety Month in Solano County
The leading cause of death among children and youth is from injury, including drowning, fires, motor vehicle accidents and falls. Most injuries to children are preventable. Consistent and regular supervision and preventative actions by parents, caregivers and others in the community can help insure that children remain safe. Above all, to prevent pool drowning, constant, undistracted adult supervision as a designated water watcher is essential. In addition, it is recommended that pool owners use multiple layers of protection around pools such as a fence around the entire pool perimeter, using self-latching, self-closing gates, approved pool covers, pool alarms, and alarms on doors leading to the pool area. These precautions can help buy the extra few seconds needed to notice that a child is missing and save him or her from drowning.
