One of the natural dangers that lie in wait for a person in winter on reservoirs is thin ice.

Anyone can find themselves in an emergency situation: fishing, hunting, hiking, crossing reservoirs or rivers.

Before crossing a river or reservoir on ice, study the condition of the frozen reservoir on the shore. For a single traveler, ice can be considered safe with a thickness of at least 7 centimeters.

The Ridder City Emergency Management recommends that all residents do not step on the ice without making sure that it is strong enough.

If a person has fallen through the ice or into the water in front of your eyes, dial "101" or "112" and report the incident. If possible, you can help the victim by giving an improvised means of rescue and pull him out of the water, ensuring your safety.

Dear parents! Do not miss the opportunity to warn your children about the dangers. Do not allow children to be uncontrolled and playing in reservoirs, along rivers. Explain to them the deadly danger and categorically forbid them to approach reservoirs.

Compliance with the above measures will save your life and the lives of your children!
