• Less than 60°F most of the year
• Less than 50°F 4-6 months
…make for cold rivers

It can happen to you
Once you are in……things can go downhill very
quickly
![Page 25: 2010.06 - City of Portland RBS Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011722/5406ade58d7f7229168b5f43/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Gasp reflex
Cold water causes a gasp on contact which often results in inhalation of water
![Page 26: 2010.06 - City of Portland RBS Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011722/5406ade58d7f7229168b5f43/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
…and you can drown with only 5 ounces of water in your lungs
![Page 27: 2010.06 - City of Portland RBS Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011722/5406ade58d7f7229168b5f43/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Cold shock
In seconds to minutes you will begin to experience shock with very rapid breathing while your heart rate and blood pressure will increase.
![Page 28: 2010.06 - City of Portland RBS Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011722/5406ade58d7f7229168b5f43/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Cold shock
These factors reduce your physical and mental abilities making it very difficult to rescue yourself
![Page 29: 2010.06 - City of Portland RBS Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011722/5406ade58d7f7229168b5f43/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Swim failure
After as little as 3 minutes there is a loss of coordination in your limbs.
![Page 30: 2010.06 - City of Portland RBS Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011722/5406ade58d7f7229168b5f43/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Swim failure
You will be unable to maintain a body position that allows swimming
![Page 31: 2010.06 - City of Portland RBS Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011722/5406ade58d7f7229168b5f43/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Hypothermia
At some point your body is no longer able to regulate your core temperature which, untreated will result in death
![Page 32: 2010.06 - City of Portland RBS Presentation](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022011722/5406ade58d7f7229168b5f43/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Truth: If you are not wearing a life jacket
you are unlikely to survive to the point
you need worry about hypothermia
Hypothermia

Post rescue collapse
Even after rescue the effects of hypothermia can cause death, seek medical attention after any prolonged cold water exposure
