Fall is the best time of year to get outside and play, whether you’re with your team, your friends or your family. It’s also a really important time to brush up on some key safety plays. • wear layers so you can stay warm or cool down easily • drink water to stay hydrated, even when it’s cool outside • wear the right equipment for the game or activity: helmets, pads, vests, shin guards, and shoes or cleats • be aware of more people, cars and bicycles out near schools, fields and parks Review the numbers: 9-1-1 Even when you plan ahead for safety, emergencies happen. That’s the time to call 9-1-1. The highly trained staff at Columbia 9-1-1 is always there to answer your call and help make sure help is on the way as soon as possible. Columbia 9-1-1: Safety is the name of the game. P.O. Box 998 St. Helens, Oregon 97051 Administrative Office: (503) 397-7255 Non-emergency Dispatch: (503) 397-1521 1-800-696-7795 www.columbia911.com
