🚤 Murphy Says: Safe Boating Starts Before You Leave the Dock! 🛟

Whether you're heading out on the lake for fishing, tubing, kayaking, or just relaxing on the water, preparation can make all the difference. Before setting out:

✅️ Check your boat and safety equipment
✅ Wear a properly fitted life jacket
✅ File a float plan with someone you trust
✅ Bring drinkable water, sunscreen, and extra clothes
✅ Watch for signs of heat illness
✅ Keep a first-aid kit and fire extinguisher onboard

Did you know? The majority of boating fatalities involve drowning, and most victims were not wearing a life jacket. Life jackets save lives, for adults and kids alike.

Enjoy the water, but make safety your first priority this summer! 🌞 ⚓️

Update: (5/27/26) at 9:04 PM - FLOOD WATCH canceled.

(5/26/26) The National Weather Service has issued a FLOOD WATCH for Warren County from 5/27/26 at 2:00am until 5/28/26 at 2:00am.

LOOK AT THE FACTS 💧

More than 75% of childhood drownings happen during NON-SWIM times.

70% of childhood drowning victims are NOT wearing swimsuits.

That means prevention and supervision matter far more than swimsuit color alone.

✅ Prevention Before Submersion:
• Always have a designated Water Watcher
• Ensure weak or non-swimmers wear proper life jackets
• Install barriers such as fences and pool covers
• Enroll children in swim lessons early, as young as 1 year old

👀 What is a Water Watcher?
A Water Watcher is a designated adult whose ONLY job is supervising swimmers. No phones. No distractions. No conversations. Active supervision saves lives.

⚠️ Know what drowning really looks like:
It is NOT like Hollywood. Most drownings are swift and silent. Rarely is there waving or yelling.

🎨 Why swimsuit colors still matter:
Bright, visible colors can help you quickly identify your child in the water, but color should NEVER replace active supervision and layered water safety practices.

The best water safety strategy is prevention before submersion.
