The USPS Digital Media Library (DML), developed under a grant from the U. S. Coast Guard in 2016, established an online resource of boating safety content that you can leverage in your marketing and education programs. It contains a wide variety of digital content, including videos, images, animated graphics, and audio recordings. The video content is presented in English and Spanish, and all is available for free. It can be streamed, downloaded, or accessed through a new mobile app. The DML supports the NRBS Strategic Plan goals of 1) increasing knowledge and skills through best practices and standards, and 2) developing an integrated national awareness campaign that supports a positive culture shift towards safer boating behavior. The highlight of the library is a series of 20 new videos that demonstrate the on-water power standards. Each video focuses on one part of the standard, and explores the underlying issues as well as the appropriate skills and techniques. There are Methods and Strategies guides for instructors that show how the media content can be integrated in your curriculum. Find out how the DML can serve as a go-to resource to support your educational needs.
