Children were briefed by inspectors on the safety aspects related to ice
In the Russian city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the Center for Water Rescue (GIMSS) of the Kamchatka branch of the Emergency Situations Ministry is taking active steps to ensure the safety of children around water bodies.
The Centre is currently implementing safety measures on various water bodies in the region, as part of their ongoing mission to prevent water accidents involving children. This initiative is particularly significant in the Kamchatka Krai, where the harsh winter weather can often lead to dangerous ice conditions.
The specialists from the Centre are engaging in both patrolling and preventive work with the public. They are visiting educational institutions, such as Schools No. 2, No. 26, and No. 46, to conduct open lessons on water safety.
During these sessions, children are taught about the potential dangers of thin ice. They are advised not to gather in groups on small ice areas, cross a water body on thin ice one after another, or move across ice with hands in pockets or with a tightly fastened backpack.
Moreover, children are reminded not to go onto ice that is mushy or has water visible on its surface. Testing ice strength by stomping, poking, or jumping on it is also discouraged by the specialists.
In addition to these precautions, children are taught how to act if someone falls through the ice. Everyday items are used by the specialists to demonstrate potential assistance to children in such situations.
A photo was recently taken at School No. 15, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, showing the specialists demonstrating the dangers of thin ice to the children.
The Centre for Water Rescue is not only patrolling the waterways but also giving special attention to preventing accidents involving children. They remind children that it is important to never be on the ice alone without anyone nearby for help in an emergency.
By educating children about the dangers of thin ice and teaching them what to do in an emergency, the Centre for Water Rescue is working to ensure a safer winter season for all in the Kamchatka region.
