#nationalsituationalawarenessday
Situational awareness is the foundation of one's personal security. It focuses on being aware and paying attention to your environment. Situational awareness also means mindfulness, and improving it makes you more present in daily activities. In turn, it also helps you make better decisions in all aspects of life.
This day emphasizes the importance of using situational awareness skills in everyday life to stay out of harm's way. Harm can take the form of walking in front of a moving vehicle or the assassination of an assassination. Both scenarios can be the result of distractions that have caused us to lose track of our surroundings.
A dangerous situation can arise in a flash. Being aware of a threat even a split second ahead of time can save a life. Awareness helps them act rather than reacting. One of the leading causes in accidents due to human error is a lack of or inadequate situational knowledge.
