 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake. Winter is almost here and many sailors will be traveling to see family and friends for the holidays. The Naval Safety Center recommends planning ahead before getting on the road, getting plenty of rest before driving and pulling over in a well-lit area if you get tired, checking your tires for tread and air pressure, and always wearing a seatbelt. They also recommend having a winter kit including a flashlight and batteries, warm clothes, water, jumper cables, sand, an ice scraper, a blanket, and first aid kit. Anyone planning a trip can use the travel risk planning system or trips to avoid possible hazards while driving. The automated risk assessment tool and other safety tips can be found on the Naval Safety Center website.
