What more can communities do to identify and secure dangerous ponds before another family faces this kind of loss?

Are local authorities already mapping hazardous ponds, or is the responsibility being left entirely to residents?

Emergency response matters, but preventing access to hazardous ponds should not be treated as an afterthought once tragedy happens.

Local leaders could map exposed ponds, add clear warnings or barriers, and share safety reminders with nearby residents.
