With flooding comes debris flows with trees, root wads, and other material that can impact the safety of boaters on the water. The Oregon Marine Board and marine law enforcement strongly urge boaters to take the following precautions: • Make sure the boat ramp is open for launching. The Marine Board is work- ing closely with facility man- agers and will include closure information on the Boat Oregon Map. • Scout the river before run- ning it. Rivers are dynamic, and don’t stay the same over time. Boulders and logs move, trees fall and currents shift. When in doubt — scout and portage out. • Wear a life jacket. Given the water temperature and equally cold air temperature, boaters are encouraged to wear a properly fitting life jacket on the outside of their cold weath- er attire. • Boat with others and stay within sight of one another. • Know your limits and how to self-rescue. Be sure your skills and experience are equal to the river and the conditions. • Fill out a digital float plan and print out a copy to let oth- ers know where you are boat- ing and when to expect your return. The digital form, when submitted, sends an email to the Marine Board that can be used later to aid marine law enforcement should a boater need help.
