From NH Fish and Game -- Safety Advisory Issued for Swimmers, Canoiests, Kayakers
SAFETY ADVISORY ISSUED FOR SWIMMERS, CANOEISTS, KAYAKERS:
N.H. RIVER CONDITIONS REMAIN DANGEROUS
CONCORD, N.H. - A safety advisory urging extreme caution to be used by swimmers,
canoeists and kayakers on the state's rivers and streams was issued jointly today [Aug. 14] by
the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, the New Hampshire Department of
Environmental Services and the New Hampshire Department of Safety's office of
Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
Weather conditions expected over the coming week could pose a "perfect storm" of
potential danger, according to Major Tim Acerno of N.H. Fish and Game Law
Enforcement. More rain is expected by Friday night, along with thunderstorms that
could roll in with a weekend front; this would intensify already-high water levels
in rivers and streams around the state. The forecast then calls for sunshine
starting on Sunday, ushering in days of hot, humid weather - conditions that often
encourage residents and visitors to seek relief in water recreation. This
combination has proved deadly in recent weeks; four people have drowned in New
Hampshire rivers and streams this summer, and emergency personnel have responded to
numerous situations.
