July 2023 (ROTM#175) The Rip Current Survival Guide

This Rip of the Month is a bit different – it’s actually a poster that has been produced by the UNSW Sydney Faculty of Science. UNSW has supported my community education efforts for years and has printed out thousands of Rip Current Survival Guide posters that I give out for free at my community talks. This is probably about version 5 and the only thing I would update would be to rename ‘Fixed Rips’ as ‘Channelised Rips’ which is the latest scientific name.

 It's fairly high quality so please feel free to print it out in A4 or A3 or whatever size works for you and put in on your fridge, bring it to work, give a copy to your local school – any rip current education helps!

Copy it. Print it. Put it up.
