Life Jackets Worn…Nobody Mourns Campaign

This Newsblast is sent to you by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) National Operations Center for Water Safety and the Corps of Engineers Natural Resources Education Foundation (The Corps Foundation).

Happy New Year from The Life Jackets Worn…Nobody Mourns Campaign!

One way to ensure that you have a great year is to wear a life jacket on all your water adventures and ask everyone with you to wear theirs too.

If you fall into cold water you must try not to panic and catch your breath in the first minute. You only have ten minutes of meaningful movement for self-rescue. Hypothermia does not occur right away it takes approximately one hour to occur. Wearing a properly-fitted life jacket increases your chances of survival so #PleaseWearIt.

Want to Know the Truths About The Ways of Water?

Check out our blog that explains underwater blackouts and a few truths about the ways of water that you need to know in order to prevent drownings.
