Just after another round of high temperature, high temperature weather is coming

Where do you first think of going in summer?

The sea, lake, swimming pool, water park

It should be a more "refreshing" choice

It can be said

It is incomplete that it is not close to the summer

Swimming, fishing, surfing, rafting

These outdoor activities related to water

It is also an indispensable part of summer leisure

↑ The colorful summer water sports

Although water is a good summer partner

But it is also the "culprit" of the drowning incident

According to incomplete statistics

57,000 people die every year in my country to drowning

Children's drowning deaths account for 56% of the total

On average, 88 children die every day due to drowning

Drowning has become elementary and middle school students

The "first killer" of non -normal death

Not only in China

The number of drowning accidents around the world is still high

It has become an international issue that has attracted widespread attention

In April 2021, the UN General Assembly passed a resolution

Announced July 25th every year

World Prevention Day

Hope to use this global publicity activity

Emphasize the harm of drowning to family and society

And provide a solution to save life to prevent drowning

↑ World Anti -Drowning Day icon and slogan

The World Health Organization pointed out

Drowning has become the world's largest

Can be prevented, ignored and urgent

One of the public health issues

In order to attach importance to the international community

WHO has published two official documents one after another

And update each year according to the situation

Two files point out

In recent years, the number of deaths caused by drowning in the world in recent years

Between 200,000 and 400,000

Incidents that occur in medium, low -income countries and regions

Account for 90% of the total number

More than half of the drowning incident occurred in

West Pacific and Southeast Asia

The highest -risk group of global drowning incident

It is a 1 to 4 -year -old infant

The second place is children aged 5 to 9 years old

Favorite water child

Due to the lack of care, guidance, and prevention measures

The biggest victim of becoming a drowning incident

To avoid the occurrence of a tragedy

The WHO proposed 10 in two documents

Points to prevent drowning

Let's pick it important now

First of all, children should avoid entering the water alone

In terms of "software"

The guardian should raise awareness of protection

Prepare the degree of danger and make corresponding preparations

Do not allow children to be "lone swimmers"

In terms of "hardware"

Person in charge of the venue

Setting isolation between land and water surface

If you add a fence around the swimming pool

Avoid losing feet and falling water

At the same time, to children over 6 years old

Professor's necessary swimming skills and water safety skills

Studies from WHO show these skills

It can significantly reduce the occurrence of drowning and death of minors

Scientific training course

Safe training environment

And the trained life -saving coach

All important parts

↑ Shanyang County, Shaanxi Province provides free swimming teaching for primary and secondary school students in the county seat

Speaking of life coach

Popularize the knowledge of anti -drowning and life -saving skills among the people

More and more personnel who master the life skills

And extend a helping hand after the drowning incident

It is an important part of reducing death

The report of the WHO shows

Among the 15 drowning accidents in Australia in 5 years

In the case where there are life -saving people present

93%of drowning people survive

↑ Drowning lectures and drills held in various places

In addition, it is necessary to formulate and strictly implement

The rules and regulations of water transportation and entertainment tools

This includes making the ship in a good state

Equipped with sufficient life -saving supplies and avoid overload

Captain has the ability to organize rescue

And avoid traveling in bad weather

Finally, we must establish natural disasters such as typhoon floods

Early warning, control and disaster reduction mechanism

The advancement of science and technology and the improvement of management

Can largely reduce the loss of extreme disasters to a large extent

It can be seen from this

To maximize the drilling accident

Especially drowning causes death

Need the common efforts of the whole society

Hope in the hot summer

Every child is in family, school, government, etc.

Under multi -faceted care

Stay away from danger and grow up happily
