Following these simple tips can help ensure that you have a good Memorial Day weekend. Historically, this is one of the riskiest times of the year for boating and water-related activities and many fatalities occur. Remember Life Jackets Worn…Nobody Mourns so @PleaseWearIt.

National Dam Safety Day May 31! Locks and dams are located along waterways throughout the U.S. and help move ships and goods. Located seven miles southwest of Freeport, Texas, the Brazos River Floodgates have been instrumental in controlling sand and silt deposition since 1943.

A harmless day of fun can quickly turn into a tragic event. By always wearing your life jacket and asking others to do so too, it could save your life or the life of someone you care about. @PleaseWearIt YouTube link: youtube.com/watch?v=W1Qi7J…

If you enjoy paddleboarding, the chances of you falling into the water are very likely. When that happens, your paddleboard can dart away from you very quickly, so be like Ben and wear your life jacket, leash, and sunscreen. #LifeJacketsWornNobodyMourns youtube.com/watch?v=pkBlKF…

Summertime often means afternoon storms. Today's storms might have a little extra juice though, and the strongest storms today could produce damaging wind gusts. Make sure your outdoor plans today include a way to receive weather alerts, and nearby sturdy shelter, just in case.

Please wear a life jacket when boating to increase your chances of surviving carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. Boaters should use a marine CO detector, seat children in the forward-most seating on a boat, avoid idling and exposure to other boats and maintain fresh air #WavesofHope

A life jacket can’t save your life if it’s floating on top of the water and you’re sinking to the bottom. Having a life jacket on your boat, even if it’s “readily accessible,” is not good enough. #PleaseWearIt so you can enjoy boating another day.

Army Engineer history lesson! One of the perhaps lesser-known engineering feats of the American Civil War was the organization and management of the Union Army of the Potomac’s railroads. Read more: usace.army.mil/About/History/…

Swimming in open water (lakes, rivers, etc.) is more difficult than in a pool. You can get exhausted in a short amount of time and get into trouble due to waves, current, lack of experience, or your abilities have decreased. Even good swimmers can drown so @PleaseWearIt!

Grab your life jacket and enjoy some fun in the sun! Wearing a life jacket when you’re in, on, or near open water (lakes, rivers, ponds, etc.) will help ensure that you have a great summer. @PleaseWearIt
