Schools should teach kids how to swim and stay safe near rivers and lakes. Adults must learn how to save drowning people and bring them back to life. Towns should also make better rules for boats and manage flood dangers.
Most countries have rescue teams that help during water emergencies. Many places run programs to protect people from floods. When someone almost drowns, helpers should call for medical aid right away. The person needs to lie flat on hard ground for chest pumping if they cannot breathe.
