"While drownings, both fatal and nonfatal, have been declining for decades in the United States, they remain the second leading cause of injury-related deaths, after motor vehicle accidents, of children of all ages. In an overwhelming majority of cases, these tragedies are preventable if youngsters and their guardians have greater respect for the water and take well-established precautions."

Respect for Water Cuts Risk of Drowning While drownings have been declining for decades in the United States, they remain the second leading cause of injury-related deaths.

Has anyone told you it's cold today? Be safe out there- you know the routine: Cover as much skin as you can with warm clothing, hats, scarves and mittens (better than gloves for staying warm), and recognize frostbite warning signs: gray, white or yellow skin discoloration, tingling or numbness. And don't forget your pets- they can also get frostbite if outside for too long!
