COMMUNITY BRIEFS – December 8, 2022

Posted on Dec 08 2022
Rip currents may continue until Sunday afternoon
The public is being warned that there is a high risk of dangerous rip currents through Sunday afternoon in east facing reefs of the Marianas. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
Based on the information received from the National Weather Service in Tiyan, Guam, and compiled at the CNMI Emergency Operations Center State Warning Point, a surge in longer-period trade-wind swell this weekend could prolong the high risk of rip currents beyond Friday afternoon and into the weekend. It was earlier predicted that the rip current could last only until Friday.
The public is being advised to swim near a lifeguard. If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don’t swim against the current. If able, swim in a direction following the shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave for help. (PR)
