He <br />stated these flotation device stations had been successfully implemented on beaches in <br />Brevard County. Each station had an orange life-saving ring to provide beaches <br />without lifeguards (unguarded or off duty) a means to assist distressed swimmers. <br />The Drown Zero Program hoped to raise awareness of ocean hazards, such as <br />riptides, that are estimated to contribute to over 100 deaths yearly. <br />Sunrise Rotary Club (Club) President Justin Lefebure was joined by Debbie Avery, <br />Executive Secretary, to request permission from the Board to install Drown Zero <br />Stations on Indian River County Beaches. Mr. Lefebure stated that the Club would <br />maintain the station weekly, and if a ring was lost, stolen, or deteriorated, the Club <br />would replace it. He stated during high season, the rings would be checked daily to <br />ensure their availability. Tamper rings were also in place to prevent unnecessary <br />removal. The Club would maintain the rings at their own cost, along with sponsors <br />who help cover the installation costs. <br />Indian River County Florida Page 17 <br />
