Most of us are working from home and dreaming of normalcy. Please follow state and local public health guidance if you are recreating on the water during this time. Remember, we're all in this together. | | With the ongoing coverage surrounding the coronavirus outbreak, our top priority is to keep our Safe Boating Campaign partners around the world safe. Historically the National Safe Boating Council has developed resources for partners around the world to use in their local grassroots efforts and encouraged local participation in events such as National Safe Boating Week, Wear Your Life Jacket to Work Day, and Ready, Set, Wear It Days. In following recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control, we encourage partners to postpone or cancel all large gatherings until otherwise notified by your state or local officials. Read more for event guidance related to COVID-19. The NSBC encourages partners to communicate with their local community via social media, newsletters, local newspapers, and other digital communications about recreational boating safety. During this time of social distancing, new and seasoned boaters may still be out on the water. In fact, some areas are seeing an increase in fishing and paddling activities. Please visit our Resource Kit for free social media images, videos, posts and other content. Select free resources, such as brochures, stickers, pledge cards, wristbands and other printed giveaway items are delayed due to stay-at-home orders impacting warehouse distribution and delivery. Stay in touch with us! We'll post frequent updates on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. | | Wear Your Life Jacket to Work Day | | Mark your calendar!
