Astrakhan reminded the safety rules of autumn fishing

With the arrival of autumn, the risks on the water become different: the water cools, and the weather becomes more variable. As a result, employees of the State Inspectorate for Small Vessels appeal to fishing enthusiasts with a warning about the need to observe increased precautions, since sharp gusts of wind, fog, hypothermia and capsizing of the boat can lead to tragic consequences.

As recalled in the GU EMERCOM of Russia in the Astrakhan region, before going to the water, it is necessary to check the condition of the boat and make sure that there are life jackets or other means of rescue on board.

It is extremely important to use waterproof equipment and have a stock of dry clothes.

In addition, fishermen should carefully follow the forecasts and categorically avoid access to water bodies during storm warnings, as well as strictly observe the norms of carrying capacity and passenger capacity of the vessel.

Before sailing, be sure to inform your loved ones of your route and approximate return time. In any emergency, dial 112 immediately.
