In the Zhytomyr region, rescuers urge citizens not to go out on the thin ice
State service of Ukraine for emergency situations is reminiscent of a threatening situation, which today is observed in the reservoirs of Ukraine. Using a constant fluid temperature of rivers and lakes formed an unstable ice cover presents a particular hazard for people, particularly fishermen and children. Therefore, in order to preserve their health or even save your life, you should remember the following: * out on the ice and walk it is safer there, where people have already passed (based on their tracks or trails). If you go out on the ice first, it is necessary to consider not dipped ice because he is always thinner where flow of warm waste water from industrial plants, growing shrubs or reeds, where the flow is quick and they beat the springs; * to make the hole for fishing worth doing at a safe distance from each other; * you should be especially careful to descend from the shore, because the ice can loosely be connected with the land, any cracks under the ice may be air; * you should beware of places where the ice is covered with snow. The snow that covered the ice acts as a blanket, the snow ice is growing slowly. Sometimes it so happens that across the pond the thickness of the exposed ice is 10 cm, and under the snow just 3 cm; * do not gather on ice the big groups in one place; * it is strictly forbidden to drink before and during your holiday on ice of alcoholic drinks or other narcotic or psychotropic substances. What if you fell into cold water: * do not panic, keep your composure, don't shout, if no one is around - you'll just be wasting power, do not do sharp movements, stabilise breath, avoid diving head; * scatter hands to the side and try to cling to the ice edge, having given to a body horizontal position in a downstream direction; * try to lean carefully a chest on edge of ice and to throw one and then the other foot on the ice; * once out on the ice, peracetates and crawl away to the other side – where you come from, where the ice strength is already known, slowly crawl to the shore.
