All,
Do you have specific or general recommendations for improving water safety in the US?
At local, state, or national levels.
The World Health Organization recommends that all countries create a Water Safety Plan, but a number of nations do not have them. I'm serving in a committee, helping to develop the US national water safety plan. Various aspects are being considered: drowning prevention, PPE, boat-based rescue (my focus), data, gaps, etc.
Your input would be invaluable.
Thanks and happy holidays.
