Spring Break Safety Tips

Arrive safely

Driving through the night to make it down to Florida or other sunny destinations is common for spring breakers. But the National Safety Council says traffic death rates are three times greater at night than during the day If you can’t avoid night driving, have at least one person stay awake to talk to driver

Don’t take chances at your hotel

Lock the doors, and secure important belongings like passports and wallets in the safe A door stop alarm is portable and can alert you if someone tries to break-in Make sure it’s in your suitcase this spring break.

Be smart about who you give personal information out to

Don’t tell new acquaintances your hotel or room number You never know who has innocent or dangerous

intentions

Make sure you know the name and address of your hotel

This is especially important if you don’t speak the local language.

The Buddy System

It works! We do NOT recommend you leave a party with a stranger, it’s always best to take a friend with you If for whatever reason you do leave without your friends, give them details about where you ’ re going and when to expect you back.

Practice safe drinking

Take turns so that one friend in the group per night will plan on minimal drinking to look out for everyone. Other good habits – watching your cup or glass, and only accept drinks that you ’ ve watched get made or poured in front of you

If you need help ask for it

If there’s an emergency don’t rely on a bystander to call for help Call for help yourself to be sure first responders or police gets the message.

Hydrate & wear sunscreen!

Heat stroke and melanoma aren’t happy spring break thoughts, but too much time in the sun can leave you dehydrated with an increased risk of sun burns. Take your SPF and a bottle of water to the beach!

Carry a small, practical, and easy to use personal protection tool like pepper spray or a personal alarm

SABRE Red pepper spray and SABRE personal alarms are legal to carry in all 50 states.

If traveling

outside of the country,

be sure to look up the address or contact information for the American consulate or U.S Embassy in the country where you ’ re headed.
