Importance of Waterways Emergency Marker Signage

Between people swimming, kayaking, water skiing, fishing, boating and camping there are many factors that can cause safety issues in waterways.

Things that can happen on the water like:
✔️ Drownings (which have had a huge increase in the last 2 years)
✔️ Heat/cold exposure from climate
✔️ Heart attacks (both in and out of the water)
✔️ Boat explosions (yes they have happened even on Lake Epallock)
✔️ Boat Ramp accidents
✔️ Fires
✔️ Campsite drunk and disorderly, brawls and cooking fires

⚠️ It is important that ALL Emergency Markers on Waterways are clearly visible from the WATER and within campsites and jetties.
