H.R. No. 1461

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, During the week of May 7-14, 2019, the Texas
	Drowning Prevention Alliance is joining together with water safety
	advocates and partners to commemorate Drowning Awareness Week in
	the State of Texas; and
	WHEREAS, Drowning is the second leading cause of death among
	children under 14 years of age; many drowning and near-drowning
	accidents can be prevented by following basic safety measures such
	as supervising children when they are in or around water, learning
	CPR and first aid, having youths wear life jackets, and enrolling
	young children in formal swimming lessons, which can help protect
	them from drowning by as much as 88 percent; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas Drowning Prevention Alliance and its
	partners are setting aside a week to help raise public awareness
	about the importance of water safety and to reinforce education
	among those who operate and oversee swimming pools, water
	playgrounds, hot tubs, and other venues; Drowning Awareness Week
	serves as an opportunity for Texas families who have been impacted
	by drowning to share personal stories and to memorialize victims of
	drowning and for water safety advocates to conduct educational
	outreach aimed at preventing future tragedies; and
	WHEREAS, All Texans have a role to play in mitigating the risk
	of accidental drowning, and Drowning Awareness Week helps focus
	attention on the steps that can be taken to promote safety around
	water; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize May 7-14, 2019, as Drowning Awareness
	Week and commend the Texas Drowning Prevention Alliance and other
	dedicated individuals for their year-round efforts to save lives;
	and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the Texas Drowning Prevention Alliance as an
	expression of high regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
