River Safety 2022
With the river seasons rapidly approaching, Lambertville New Hope Ambulance and Rescue Squad would like to provide some safety tips to help keep you and your family safe this year!
– Wear a properly fitted life jacket for all river activities
– Watch children and pets at all time
– Check official river conditions. Do not go out if the conditions are unsafe.
– Avoid Alcohol consumption. Drinking and swimming can be just as dangerous as drinking and driving.
– If you fall in, use the defensive position. Float on your back with your feet pointed down stream.
– If you see someone fall in, call for help. DO NOT go in after them if you do not have the appropriate training.
Remember, River safety starts with you! Have fun and stay safe.
