It's important to make a summer safety plan before heading out. This plan is especially important for anyone recreating on water. ODNR has 32 lifejacket loaner stations at many state parks that provide free access to life jackets in a variety of sizes.
During extreme heat, remember to stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay informed. To learn more about extreme heat safety, visit: bit.ly/4kllUL1 #BeatTheHeatOhio
