Don’t let the weather ruin your #MyPublicLandSummer

Before you head out to enjoy your public lands and experience your #BLMAdventures, make sure you and your family are prepared for anything. BLM-managed lands are some of the most exciting federally-managed public lands, but they can also be some of the most rugged. Be prepared and stay safe.

Don’t let the weather ruin your #MyPublicLandSummer. Thunderstorms and severe weather conditions such as flooding, are a common occurrence and can be dangerous. Check out these tips to help you prepare for inclement weather and #GetHomeSafe:

Always check the weather before you head out.

Carry a lightweight jacket in case of summer rain showers.

If you’re outside during a thunderstorm, avoid high peaks/ridges, isolated trees, and bodies of water.

Never lie flat on the ground during a thunderstorm.

During a flood warning, find shelter as quickly as possible. Do not walk, swim, or drive through flood waters.

Stay off of bridges over fast-moving water during a storm or flood.

Dive into Summer

Are you ready to dive into summer? BLM-managed public lands provide many opportunities to enjoy swimming, kayaking, fishing, tubing, boating, paddleboarding and so much more. This summer, make sure everyone in your family knows how to stay safe while having fun out on the water by reading these tips below: 

Check the car or boat for all required equipment including a first-aid kit and life jackets before leaving. 

When fishing, do not leave your tackle lying on the ground. Someone may trip and fall, step on a hook, or break your tackle.

Keep fishing knives sharp and cover the blade when not in use.

Before boating, check that your equipment is in good working order; for a free vessel safety check with your local U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

To prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, properly drain, clean, dry and disinfect your boat, trailer, waders, scuba gear and other fishing and boating equipment. 

Do not use drugs or drink alcohol when boating. Over half of all drowning victims were using alcohol or drugs.

Familiarize yourself with the area first before entering the water. Read all signs and rules.

Never swim, wade or access any water feature alone. There is safety in numbers and always keep an eye on your fellow swimmers, especially children. 

Beat the Heat

Temperatures are heating up, and this summer is going to be a scorcher! During the late summer months, temperatures can reach dangerous levels. Whether you are hiking, rock climbing, biking, camping, or fishing on BLM-managed lands, stay safe by preparing for extreme temperatures.

Beat the heat this #MyPublicLandsSummer by following these tips below:

Enjoy the sunrise! Get to your BLM destination early to avoid the hottest temperatures of the day, which can occur between 12:00 pm and 3:00 pm.

Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Wearing sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, protect against UVA and UVB lights, as well as lower your risk of skin cancer.

Check the forecast before you leave to ensure you are appropriately dressed. Wear loose, light-colored, lightweight clothing and a hat to stay cool.

Drink plenty of water before, during and after your #BLMAdventures. Don’t forget to bring extra water for your four-legged best friend!

If you are taking your pup out for the day, try to hike grassy areas or bring dog shoes to prevent their paws from burning on the rocky areas.

Watch for signs of heat-related illnesses. Symptoms include heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, weakness, dizziness, headache, and nausea.

To combat heat-related illnesses, rest in a cool place and drink a beverage with electrolytes and sodium. Go to https://www.nsc.org/home-safety/tools-resources/seasonal-safety/summer/heat for more information on what to do if you or someone else has a heat related illness.
