But the Sunshine State comes with its own list of health and safety concerns, particularly during the spring season. Follow these precautions to have a great spring this year!
Even for life-long Floridians, the sun can be a threat to skin safety. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, nearly 5,000 Florida residents developed melanoma, which is responsible for roughly three-quarters of skin cancer deaths, in 2009. Even one serious sunburn per season can put you at risk, so be sure to take appropriate precautions with regard to sun exposure:
Florida’s many beaches are a popular choice for weekend entertainment, but should be visited with caution. Make sure to always obey safety/hazard flags or other notices, and be respectful of the wildlife found on beaches. Swim under the supervision of a lifeguard and be mindful of rough waters, rip tides, and sea life.
When utilizing boats or similar equipment, be mindful of laws surrounding lifejacket use. While on or near boat docks, exercise extreme caution and common sense. Never operate a vehicle, including a boat, while under the influence of alcohol, and be sure to observe speed limits in waterways.
Hurricane and tropical storm warnings present additional dangers, and certain activities carry greater risk of injury or danger. To be safe this season, check in with Florida State Parks’ safety guidelines before heading outdoors and make sure all precautions are being taken.
