As we gather with family and friends this holiday season, let’s keep safety at the heart of our celebrations. The National Association for Search and Rescue reminds everyone that a few simple precautions can help prevent emergencies and keep the holiday joyful.

🍂 Holiday Safety Checklist:

Travel smart: Allow extra time for holiday traffic, check weather conditions, and keep an emergency kit in your vehicle.

Fire safety: If using candles or fireplaces, keep flammable items at a safe distance and ensure smoke detectors are working.

Outdoor activities: Whether hiking, hunting, or enjoying nature, dress for the weather, carry a map or GPS, and let someone know your plans.

Prevent wandering: Keep a close eye on children, elderly relatives, and loved ones with special needs. Use the buddy system, set clear boundaries, and make sure everyone knows where to meet if separated.

Emergency readiness: Save local emergency numbers and know the basics of first aid.

✨ This Thanksgiving, let’s celebrate responsibly and ensure that gratitude, not accidents, fills our holiday memories.

Please wear bright clothing when you are in the outdoors!

You may have seen posts from Alpine Rescue Team about the importance of wearing bright colors in the backcountry. Can you spot Douglas County Search and Rescue’s missing subjects in the top photo? This image illustrates how hard it can be to see you, especially in shadowed or mountainous areas. The bottom photo uses thermal imaging, revealing where both subjects are lying down. DCSAR wants you to know that wearing the right colors in the wilderness is crucial unless you want to blend in so well that even the search party can't find you. Choose wisely -- camouflage is great, but maybe leave the tree-bark pattern at home if you don't want squirrels mistaking you for their new hangout spot. And remember, wearing bright colors doesn't just keep you safe—it also stops deer from judging your outfit choices!
