Losing even one person to drowning is too many. Last year, there were 44 fatal drownings in Orange County. Drowning is preventable if safeguards are taken. For this reason, Orange County Fire Authority launched a drowning prevention campaign focused on avoiding distractions, such as using your cellphone, while watching children near water and encouraging individuals to never swim alone.
Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children under the age of five. Drowning prevention is everyone's responsibility.
As OCFA educates the residents of Orange County about ways to prevent drownings, SCCCA partners to encourage our residents to be aware of water safety measures, share information and knowledge, and help avoid another drowning.
As the weather warms up and people venture out to pools and the beach, the more we are aware now, the better chance we have at preserving life.
溺水令人痛心，幼童溺水更是可以預防的。 去年，橙縣發生了 44 起溺水事故。 如果採取保護措施，溺水是可以預防的。 出於這個原因，橙縣消防局呼籲居民預防兒童溺水，重點是在監督靠近水邊的兒童時避免分心，例如使用手機，並鼓勵人們不要獨自游泳。
溺水是五歲以下兒童意外死亡的第一大原因。 預防溺水人人有責。在 OCFA 就如何防止溺水向橙縣居民進行教育時，中華文化中心支持並分享信息和知識，提醒左鄰右舍了解玩水活動的安全措施。
隨著天氣變暖，人們踴躍前往游泳池和海灘，我們現在了解得越多，保護生命的機會就越大。
