“Brevard County Ocean Rescue is excited to launch our new mobile website,” said Ocean Rescue Chief Jeff Scabarozi.
“This addition to the organization will not only save lives, but give great information to the residents, visitors and tourists who visit Brevard County’s beautiful beaches.”
One of the most important things beachgoers can do is make sure they swim and play on the beach near a lifeguard. This ensures someone is watching the conditions and the weather and can communicate safety messages.
Be sure to check in with lifeguards when you arrive at the beach and ask about conditions before entering the water.
