UPDATE:

From: Vanessa Palange, New Hampshire Homeland Security & Emergency Management Agency

Do yourself and first responders a favor: stay off the water! Due to recent rainfall, area rivers and streams continue to run fast with swift water currents. The swift water can easily overturn kayaks, canoes, and other small vessels and overtake the best of swimmers. Once in the water, the strong currents will make it difficult to reach safety. #ReadyNH #BePrepared #BeSafe LLC
