PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
428 AM EDT SUN JUN 7 2015

...SURF ZONE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN...

THIS IS THE FIRST MESSAGE FOR THIS SEASONS SURF ZONE AWARENESS 
CAMPAIGN, BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOUR NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE. WHILE
MOUNT HOLLY WILL CONCENTRATE ITS DAILY MESSAGING DURING THE WEEK
OF JUNE 7 TO 13, AWARENESS OF RIP CURRENT DANGERS MUST REMAIN
WITH US ALL SUMMER LONG.

THIS SEASON THERE ARE A FEW CHANGES IN OUR AWARENESS CAMPAIGN, WHICH 
WE'LL DISCUSS TOMORROW AND TUESDAY. 
 
THE OVERARCHING MESSAGE: SWIM IN THE PRESENCE OF LIFEGUARDS! WHY?
FOR ULTIMATE SAFETY. THE CHANCES OF A FATALITY UNDER THE WATCHFUL
EYES OF A LIFEGUARD ARE ABOUT 1 IN 18 MILLION.

THE CHANCES INCREASE CONSIDERABLY WHEN SWIMMING AT UNGUARDED 
TIMES OR AT UNGUARDED LOCATIONS. LAST YEAR THERE WERE 4 FATALITIES 
ON NEW JERSEY SHORES, NONE IN DELAWARE. ALL FATALITIES IN NEW
JERSEY OCCURRED AT UNGUARDED TIMES AND LOCATIONS.

THE UNITED STATES LIFEGUARD ASSOCIATION ESTIMATES 80 PERCENT OF 
BEACH RESCUES ARE RIP CURRENT RELATED. FOR MOUNT HOLLY, RIP
CURRENT RELATED FATALITIES ARE OUR NUMBER ONE WEATHER RELATED
KILLER, ABOUT 2 FATALITIES A YEAR.
 
TOMORROW WE'LL DISCUSS WHAT YOU CAN DO TO BE MORE RIP CURRENT SAVVY.
