DID YOU KNOW?The most common places for daytime auto burglaries are beaches, parks, gyms, and daycare.Here are a few reminders• Always lock your vehicle and roll up the windows, no matter how long you will be away.• Limit what you bring to our beaches & parks; an empty vehicle deters thieves.• Don’t leave purses, wallets, electronics, money, sunglasses, diaper bags, gym bags, or keys in your vehicle.• Please watch out for subjects who loiter, appear to be lifting door handles or are looking into windows. Report these people immediately to police by calling 561-368-6201, 911, or alert a nearby park ranger.• Thieves are always watching! Placing your belongings in the trunk or under your seat does not safeguard them.

WHAT IS IT? Man-of-War are most prevalent during the months of November through April. When the Man-of-War present a hazard to the public, the blue pennant flag will be flying from the lifeguard towers. Man-of-War on the beach are also dangerous and capable of stinging; therefore, they should be avoided.SYMPTOMS: Extreme pain from the Man-of-War sting usually lasts from 1-3 hours. Serious symptoms from a sting could be any combination of the following: tightness in the chest, respiratory difficulty, stomach cramps, vomiting, allergic reaction or severe pain. Those who suffer any of these symptoms should seek immediate medical attention.TREATMENT: Any Man-of-War sting should be treated by an ocean lifeguard, who will apply a solution to the affected area. It is very important that the victim use the callous portion of the fingertips to peel off tentacles. Do not rub the affected area.
