In Shymkent, on August 22, the Emergency Situations Department organized a large-scale preventive measures to ensure the safety of the population and prevent tragic incidents during the swimming season. This time, the raid was carried out near the Badam River, Shar-Shara and Mayatas canals under the theme "Safety in Water Bodies".

During the event, specialists not only conducted explanatory work for residents, but also installed special safety signs and warning boards. Such signs are installed in dangerous places for swimming, urging citizens to be careful. The main goal of safety measures is to prevent accidents, create a safety culture among residents, and prevent children from swimming unattended.

It is normal for residents to go to the banks of rivers and lakes to relax in the summer months. However, if safety rules are not observed, such a vacation spot can turn into a complete tragedy. According to the Emergency Situations Department, the main causes of tragic incidents in water bodies in recent years are drunken bathing, unattended children entering the water on their own, and non-compliance with safety requirements.

In this regard, employees of the Enbekshy district akim's office, specialists from the mobilization readiness, territorial and civil defense departments, the Emergency Situations Management Department, and the district police department were involved in the raid. Each institution carried out explanatory, control, and preventive work within its competence. Thanks to joint efforts, the event was organized on a large scale, providing residents with the opportunity to directly explain.

As experts noted, ensuring safety in water bodies is the responsibility of every citizen, not just rescuers. During the raid, special leaflets were distributed to vacationers, explaining the need to be careful in dangerous areas. Parents were also warned not to leave children unattended. This is because the majority of drownings occur among children.

According to representatives of the city's emergency department, raising the safety culture among residents is one of the main priorities. This is a task that must be carried out not only in the summer months, but throughout the year. However, such work gains special momentum during the swimming season. Every year, several dozen citizens drown in the city, including children. In order to prevent such sad statistics, explanatory work is being carried out systematically.

During the raid, police officers monitored the legal order near water bodies and explained the legal requirements to citizens. And the mobilization readiness, territorial and civil defense departments taught residents how to provide first aid in an emergency. All these measures contribute to the population's preparedness for emergencies.

In addition, specialists are preparing maps of areas where it is forbidden to swim and publishing them on social networks. This information will also be disseminated through official pages and information resources so that every resident has access to it. Currently, such maps are being prepared and distributed to the population in Turan, Enbekshi, and Karatau districts.

According to experts who participated in the event, observing safety measures in water bodies is a common responsibility of society. Failure to comply with safety rules endangers the lives of not only an individual, but also their relatives and loved ones. Therefore, every citizen must be responsible for their actions.

As a result of the preventive raid, dozens of residents participated in explanatory work and became familiar with safety rules. Thanks to specially installed signs, areas where it is forbidden to swim were clearly indicated. This, in turn, will greatly contribute to the prevention of tragic incidents.

In general, the preventive measure "Safety in Water Bodies" is an important mechanism for ensuring the safety of residents during the summer season. Such work will continue in stages in the future. After all, the most important value for the city administration and rescue services is human life and health.

Industry experts urge every resident to follow safety rules and take responsibility for their own lives. "There is no harm in being cautious," and by following simple rules, many tragic situations can be prevented.
