Rip currents are "channeled" currents of water flowing away from the beach. They typically occur when a channel forms between the shore and a sandbar and also near structures such as jetties and piers. • Why are they so dangerous? Rip currents pull people away from the beach. Their speeds can vary from moment to moment and can quickly increase to become dangerous to anyone entering the surf. • What if I'm caught in a Rip Current? Stay calm. Don't fight the current. Swim in a direction following the shoreline—across the direction of the water flow. Often this means swimming parallel to the shore. When free of current, swim at an angle—away from the current—toward the beach. • Don't become a victim while trying to help someone else! • For more information: www.ripcurrents.noaa.gov DUNE REGULATIONS • Use designated paths to and from the beach • Say off the grassy areas on the dunes; poison ivy is commonly found growing on the dunes • Dune grass is very vulnerable and is a nat- ural protection against storms POISON IVY • Remember: "Leaflets three, let it be!" • Leaves are always in threes, two leaflets split by a third, with a slightly longer stem • If exposed, repeated washing with cold water and soap will remove the poisonous oil from skin and clothing
