Emergency points:

● When you sink into the water and go down, you should keep calm, close your lips, clench your teeth and hold your breath. Don't struggle hard in the water. You should tilt your head and tilt your body. If you maintain this posture, you can slowly emerge from the water.

● After floating on the water, do not raise your hands on the surface of the water. Draw water under the surface of the water to keep the head on the water so that you can breathe air. If possible, take off your shoes and your body's weight, look for floats and hold firmly.

● Don't get too far from the boat. You must send a distress signal to the shore in various ways (such as shouting or shaking the colorful objects, etc.), and draw your own water regularly. You can slowly swim to the shore and try to swim ashore. The stream is in a hurry, and it should flow down the shore along the stream; if the river bends, it should swim in shallow water, slow down at the flow, or wait for rescue.

● After the wooden ship is overturned, it will generally not sink. Once the person is thrown into the water, he should immediately grab the ship and try to climb to the bottom of the flipped ship and wait for assistance. Other non-wooden vessels will sink when they turn over, but sometimes they will float on the water because of the large amount of air in the cabin. At this time, do not overturn the ship. Try to keep it balanced and avoid running off the air. Try to catch the flipped ship to wait for the rescue.

● Wear life jackets to maintain body temperature. The best posture is to bring both feet together and bend them to the chest. Hold them close to your elbows and place them across your life jacket to expose your head to the water. ● If the vessel is sinking, do not spray water on the dumped side to prevent it from being pushed into the water by the hull and it is difficult to escape. If the tail of the hull sinks first, you should escape to the bow.

● Do not panic before diving to escape. Observe the conditions of the vessel and the surroundings. Avoid floating hard objects on the water.

● Wear life jackets to dive, to arms folded in front of the chest, pressure life jackets, jump to take a deep breath, cover your nose and mouth with your hands, eyes looking ahead, legs straight and straight, feet first into the water. Do not look down to prevent the body from being thrown into the water and hurt.

● When the ship is in distress, keep calm and obey the command of the staff on board.

● If there are life jackets and lifebuoys on board, they should be quickly put on and put on. There are no other floating objects as life-saving appliances for lifeboats. Floaters should be thrown into the water as much as possible, such as large foam, empty wooden boxes, cabin planks, wooden stools, etc. .

● When there is a fire on the boat, use a wet towel or wet cotton fabric to cover your nose and mouth, escape the firework from the upper hand of the fire, and escape from the wind on the upwind side (ie, facing the wind).
