First, pay attention to the weather and put safety first. Tourists and citizens should pay close attention to weather changes and seaside tide conditions, and strictly abide by severe weather warnings and reminders. In case of severe weather such as strong winds and waves, they should follow the warnings and do not risk going to sea or engaging in water sports to avoid accidents. If extreme weather occurs while playing at the beach, you must terminate the play activities in time and evacuate to a safe area in time.

To participate in marine sports, you must understand your own water characteristics and physical condition, and choose recreational activities based on your actual situation; you must be familiar with the safety factor and stimulation level of marine sports, and be cautious when participating in water sports such as diving. Be sure to wear a life jacket when playing, and follow the guidance of professionals. Elderly people Tourists who suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, etc. should not take risks. Minors participating in water recreation projects must be led by their parents. Stay away from unopened sea areas and deep-sea areas. The conditions are complicated and there are no conditions for recreation. Emergency situations are likely to occur after entering, and rescue cannot be obtained immediately, which may easily cause loss of life and property.

The third is to strengthen protection and respond quickly. A-level tourist attractions should strengthen inspections during the flood season, set up obvious warning signs in dangerous areas, clarify emergency evacuation guidance routes for tourists, and prepare emergency shelters. We must do a good job in safety management of water-related projects and implement safety measures; in serious emergencies, measures such as closing scenic spots and diverting tourists must be taken to ensure the safety of tourists. Travel agencies organizing sea-related tourism products must pay close attention to flood forecasts, plan routes reasonably, strengthen reminders and warnings to tourists, and properly arrange itineraries according to weather changes.

The fourth is to master common sense and ask for scientific help. Before swimming in the sea, you should do preparatory activities in advance to prevent cramps; when swimming, you should move within the prescribed safety area. If you feel unwell in the water, you should go ashore to rest as soon as possible, and appropriately control the time for water activities. Be alert to shore currents. In case of emergency, please stay calm and seek help from staff or call the police in time.
