MICHIGAN â A proposed order would prevent people from going into the water at state-run beaches during hazardous conditions.
The policy, introduced by Michigan Department of Natural Resources Director Dan Eichinger, is part of an effort to increase public safety.
In a June memo to the Natural Resources Commission, Eichinger wrote despite education, flag warning systems, and other measures, safety rescues at Great Lake beaches continue to happen, even during âred flagâ conditions when the lake is considered high risk and dangerous.
As a result, Eichinger introduced an amendment which would ban people in state parks and recreation areas from exiting, âthe state managed beach area for the purpose of entry into the water where entry is prohibited by signage and/or communication by a department employee or their designee.â
