Frosty, snowy weather is the time for winter fun. To keep it safe, follow these rules of conduct when you are near a frozen body of water. And especially – introduce them to your children!
In order to prevent accidents on frozen rivers and lakes, State Emergency Service of Ukraine urges people not to go out on the ice and to warn their children against it.
Subzero temperatures do not guarantee safety on frozen bodies of water! The most dangerous ice is the first and last, because such ice is still extremely thin, fragile, and cannot withstand the weight of even a small child.
