It’s a partnership between the Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan Volunteer fire departments, along with the Baldwin County EMA, and Gulf Shores Orange Beach Tourism.
The campaign includes video, audio and graphics to alert beachgoers about beach conditions, including rip currents, which are the number one weather-related killer along the northern Gulf Coast.“When they get here, and they’re already on vacation and their feet touch the sand, you know, the saying that we’d like is “Know before you go”,” explained Brett Lessinger, the Orange Beach Beach safety director.
Check current beach conditions and know what each flag represent.“Do a self-accountability check,” Lessinger added.Do I lack some swimming skills that I need to stay closer to shore.”We want them to come down on vacation and enjoy their time,” he explained, “but we also want them to understand, you know, the beach safety and all of what the beach entails.”Copyright 2022 WSFA 12 News.
