Taian Anti-Drowning Emergency Reminder during Flood Season Tai’an Anti-Drowning Safety Education Platform

Emergency reminder to prevent drowning during flood season:

1. Wild waters near the shore or in shallow places usually have weeds or silt. Swimming in these places should be avoided.

2. Don’t go swimming alone. When swimming in wild waters, do not rush into the water. It is not advisable to swim in unfamiliar waters to avoid accidents.

3. Do not swim in river rapids and whirlpools. If you encounter currents, swim diagonally toward the shore. Do not swim when you are drunk, in poor physical condition or overtired. If you suddenly feel uncomfortable while swimming, such as dizziness, nausea, palpitation, shortness of breath, etc., you should immediately go ashore to rest or call for help.

4. Schools should strengthen publicity and education on drowning prevention for students during holidays, inform students to consciously stay away from dangerous waters, and remind parents of their responsibilities for safety supervision of their children during holidays through phone calls, WeChat messages, QQ messages, etc.

5. Parents of students should do a good job in daily supervision of students during holidays, strengthen care and safety education for minors, and teach their children not to swim in the water privately, not to swim with others without permission, and not to go without parents or adults. Swim with someone accompanying you, do not swim in waters without safety facilities or rescuers, do not swim in unfamiliar waters, and do not go into the water to rescue without authorization if you are not familiar with the nature of the water.

6. The general public should enhance their awareness of drowning prevention and refrain from swimming, splashing, fishing and other wading activities in complex and accident-prone waters during flood season.

Relevant departments at all levels should carry out "drowning prevention" safety education through information sending, door-to-door publicity, warning publicity, etc., to remind the public to stay away from dangerous waters and prevent drowning incidents.
