Two print ads are included for use in your local markets.  These ads can be used in a variety of ways including in print publications, newsletters, and as handouts at local marinas and retailers.  The full-page and half-page black-and-white ads are Illustrator files.  If your state agency has access to that program, it is possible to add the state's logo on the same line that the Coast Guard and NASBLA logos currently appear.

Radio is an excellent way to get the word out about Operation Dry Water. Many stations are receptive to receiving and airing Public Service Announcements that will benefit their community.

Each spot provided is available as an audio file and as a written script. The audio files include additional time at the end that you can use to personalize the PSA for your state. If preferred, you can give the written copy to radio stations for announcers to read. The radio PSAs are intended to be earned media (not paid) so an outreach effort to targeted local stations asking them to run the spots will be necessary.

The message that is being highlighted during Operation Dry Water is one that good all year long.  The brochure gives a succinct overview of the dangers and consequences of boating under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.  The brochure, a PDF file, has a white panel on the back cover where state agencies can stamp or write their information. Provide a brochure to each boater encountered during Operation Dry Water. These brochures are best reproduced in color.
