• Evaluate the weather conditions and avoid engaging in water activities in case of typhoons, heavy rain warnings, and similar situations.
• Choose water areas with lifeguards on duty for water activities and follow their instructions. Do not swim or engage in any water activities in areas where there are signs prohibiting swimming or indicating dangerous water depths.
• If you see dark clouds in the upstream mountain areas or the river suddenly becomes turbid with a large amount of sediment, quickly evacuate to higher ground to avoid being trapped by rapidly rising water.
• When engaging in rock fishing activities, ensure to wear a life jacket, non-slip shoes, and a safety helmet. Stay aware of the coastal wind and wave conditions, as well as the tide schedule, and be cautious of sudden "sneaker waves" to prevent accidents.
• If someone is drowning, shout for help and call emergency numbers such as 118, 119, or contact the coast guard or fire department. Do not attempt to rescue them by yourself without proper training or equipment. Check for nearby rescue equipment such as lifelines or lifebuoys to aid in the rescue from the shore.
