When water safety month rolls around every May, are you taking advantage of the resources available to help protect clients and customers? If you are not sure what to do, here are some tips that can help get you started. Be a part of the solution!

1) Become a partner of the National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) as they provide great resources to help protect customers.

2) Inquire about the CameraEye product to see if it is a good fit and then recommend it to your customers to help protect their families.

3) Send an email or leave a flyer/door hanger with your customers to remind them of water safety tips. NDPA and other organizations provide the information - all you have to do is disseminate it.
