PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Rip currents are powerful channels of water flowing quickly away

from shore, which occur most often at low spots or breaks in the

sandbar and in the vicinity of structures such as jetties and

piers. Heed the advice of lifeguards, beach patrol flags and

signs.



If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against 

the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline.

If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
