Apprise of complete situation.
Work with Emergency Services to determine if rescue help is needed.
Divert traffic in conjunction with umpires on the scene.
Approach the boat slowly and work to get all rowers out of the water or back into their boat if possible.
Once the rower is out of the water determine if additional launches are needed to help with boat removal.
Remove oars from oar locks and if the hull is larger than a 2x bring alongside the launch with someone guiding it slowly to the nearest dock.
If a race has to be stopped (as determined by Emergency Services), use megaphones and flags.
