Flying high above Dauphin Island’s Public Beach is a new safety measure that the island hopes will save lives.
It is a beach flag warning system and it is similar to what other areas on the Gulf Coast use and visitors to the island are taking notice.“I definitely think it’s a good idea,” said Jean Folsom. “People don’t realize how dangerous this kind of thing can be.”Depending on the conditions they will fly green, yellow, red, double red or purple flags
The National Weather Service says rip currents are the number one weather related cause of death along the Northern Gulf Coast.The new flags are just part of a layered approach to keeping visitors safe.
