Improvised Lifesavers Can Be Used in Water Crisis
New York UPI reports the National Safety Council promotes improvised flotation aids for non swimmer rescues when no lifeguards or standard gear exist. Items like a gallon jug an ice chest a canoe paddle a branch or a spare tire can support a drowning person until help arrives. About 5000 drownings occur each summer and many could be prevented with quick thinking and improvised floats.
