Around Dangerous Waters

If you fall or get swept away...

• Float on your back, keep your feet up in front of you.
• Don't try to stand in fast water.
• Use your hands to maneuver until you reach shallower water.
• Use your feet to push off obstacles.

Falling into cold, deep water can result in hypothermia.

Watch the Weather!

Flash floods are dangerous. Don't camp or hike in bottoms of canyons or deep arroyos. Water travels fast! If it's raining upstream you can be flooded even if the sky is clear overhead.
