To ensure the safety of our beach patrons, the City of Deerfield Beach utilizes the International Life Saving (ILS) Federation’s flag system, created to promote an international standard for all beach-goers to understand.
Due to the number of drownings in the state of Florida, a standardized flag system was already in place, but as of June 2004, the international system has replaced the previous one.
