Which of the following sources of water would NOT need to be treated before it's safe to drink?					Do not go inside. Go to a neighbor's home or to a place where you and your family have deemed safe and call the police. You and your parents should establish a "safe house" with a nearby friend or neighbor in case you ever need help. 	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
Which of the following statements is false? 					Do not buy metal jewelry, especially cheap metal jewelry, for young children.

A child who mouths or accidentally swallows a piece of lead-laden jewelry can suffer lead poisoning. 	Wilderness Survival	Family Game

Which of the following water sources is NOT safe to drink without a filter?					CPS stands for Child Passenger Safety and the program seeks to ensure that all children ages 0-16 are properly restrained in the correct restraint system for their age and size every time they travel in a motor vehicle. You can find safety seat checkup and other CPS events in your area by checking our website.	Wilderness Survival	Family Game

Which of these can make you a safer nighttime driver?					Consuming only 2 drinks within an hour will put you at or over the limit. Even one drink will impair all people and affect judgment and coordination. It is best to never drink and drive at all. Assign a designated driver or take a cab - the cost of a DUI or taking someone else's life is far too high. 	First Aid	Family Game
Which of these should you stay away from during a lightning storm?					Consider (compact) escape ladders for sleeping areas on the second or third floor. Learn how to use them and store them near the window. See our website for more information.	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
Which one of the following is true about seat belts?					Compasses always point North. Because of this, you can determine which way the other three cardinal directions are.	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
Which room would NOT be a safe place during a tornado?					CO poisoning brings on flu-like symptoms, like headaches, fatigue, nausea, dizzy spells, confusion, and irritability, but without a fever. Since symptoms are similar to the flu, carbon monoxide poisoning can be misdiagnosed.	Fire Safety	Family Game

Who is a stranger? Give an example.					Clothes with hoods or drawstrings can get caught on playground equipment and cause strangulation. You also should not wear loose clothing, jewelry, or scarves.	Transportation Safety	Family Game
Why do infants, toddlers, & young children require specialized safety seats?					Close all doors between you and the fire. Seal all the door cracks and vents where smoke could enter using wet towels, duct tape, linens, or clothing. Telephone the fire department (even if firefighters are already on scene) and tell them where you are. You can also signal to firefighters for help with a light cloth or flashlight. If possible, open the window at the top and bottom, but be prepared to shut the window immediately in case smoke blows in. 	Wilderness Survival	Family Game
Why do you think pool and hot spa drains are dangerous?					Children should ride properly restrained in the back seat whenever possible. Children are much safer (approximately 29 percent) the farther they are from the point of impact -- most commonly a frontal crash. If a child must be seated in the front seat, always move the vehicle seat as far back as possible (particularly with a passenger-side air bag). 	Personal Safety	Family Game

Chat rooms are among the most popular destinations on the Web, especially for kids and teens, because people can communicate to each other alone or in a group.
