Water safety basics

icon

Always wear a life jacket when on or near the water

Waterways are unpredictable and hazards are often unseen. A life
jacket is your best defense against accident or injury.

icon

Avoid swimming or immersing in cold water

Even on warm fall days, water temperatures can be dangerously cold. Cold water cools the body faster than air and can quickly lead to hypothermia.

icon

Maintain a safe
distance from dams

Water conditions can change rapidly upstream and downstream from dams. Keep your distance to stay safe.

icon

Obey all signs and warnings

Pay close attention to signs and barriers near dams, including flood warnings, restricted access signs, portage signs, 
and other posted signs.

icon

Know the risks
before you dive in

Research recreation areas ahead of time. If there’s a dam close by, check local water levels, flow rates, and current safety warnings.

icon

Have a plan

Decide ahead of time where you’ll 
go and when you’ll be back. Communicate this plan to a close contact and stick to it.

Powering and protecting our communities

As a leader in renewable energy, Brookfield Renewable is committed to promoting water safety in and around our hydroelectric dams. We maintain up-to-date information about our dams online so you can check local conditions before your next activity. Remember that conditions can change quickly and without notice—even water that looks calm can be dangerous.

Wearing a properly fitted, U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket is the most effective defense against drowning in an emergency.

Please note!

Water release schedules often change without notice due to unanticipated changes in weather conditions and power system requirements. Use caution near dams. A large amount of water may be discharged without warning at any time. Your safety depends on obeying all posted safety regulations and warnings.
