Promote cold water safety and survival in your community with a display at your health fair or other event. Displays are also useful in the classroom.

AMSEA currently has five cold water safety and survival displays available for loan. The table top displays are folded flat for shipping and easily assembled to fit on a 5-foot by 3-foot surface. Each display focuses on a different aspect of cold water safety and survival. Give-away brochures and past issues of the AMSEA's newsletter, Marine Safety Update, are included with all displays.

Because of the large demand for these displays, displays are available for loan only to AMSEA-trained instructors and to Alaska educators or health professionals. Individuals may not borrow more than one display a time.
