The flood season is coming, and drowning accidents have also entered a period of high incidence and frequent occurrence. Recently, the reporter interviewed professionals of the comprehensive emergency rescue team of Wuxi County Emergency Management Bureau on how to scientifically prevent drowning.
The reporter saw many citizens taking their children to play in the water to cool off on the side of the Daning River floodplain, but there is often a hidden crisis under the coolness, and many teenagers often drown due to lack of vigilance and encounter danger.
Relevant professionals told reporters that in addition to their own lack of vigilance, the lack of drowning prevention education and supervision is also one of the main reasons for the tragedy.
It is understood that the dangerous waters for drowning are usually in reservoirs, rivers, streams, and puddles left after construction, such as the Daning River waters, Liujiagou Reservoir, Zhongba Reservoir, etc.
Hu Wen, a member of the comprehensive emergency rescue team of the Wuxi County Emergency Management Bureau, reminded: "First, do not swim in the river without permission; 2. Do not swim without teachers and parents; Third, do not swim in places where there are no safety facilities and no safety personnel. Parents should strengthen supervision of their children, know who they are going with, where they are going, when they will return and what they are going to do, and emphasize that children should not play near dangerous waters. ”
How can people who can't swim save themselves after accidentally drowning?
Relevant professionals remind the general public: to let the body float on the surface as much as possible, waiting for others to rescue at the same time, observe whether there are things around that can be grasped, pulled, and supported, quickly grasp, and surfaced with strength, if not, you can rely on certain skills to float up on their own, when ventilating, exhale shallowly, inhale deeply, if there is a rescuer to the rescuer to the rescue, listen to the rescuer's command, do not jerk the rescuer, to prevent the rescuer also choking, drowning.
