IMPORTANT NOVELTIES IN THE RED CROSS RESCUE AND PREVENTION SERVICE ON THE TORREVIEJA BEACHES.

Bracelets will be delivered to children and old people to prevent from an eventual loss.

The Mayor of Torrevieja, Pedro Hernández Mateo, accompanied by the Councilman of Beaches, Eduardo Gil Rebollo, the Councilwoman of Public Health, Pilar González Cifuentes, and the President of the Local Red Cross Association, Bibiano Vera, have made public the novelties for this summer in the Red Cross Rescue and Prevention on the Torrevieja beaches.

The Municipal subsidy for the year 2007 for the Local Red Cross has been raised from 600.000 euros in 2006 to 747.347 for this year 2007.

The Prevention and Rescue Service is dealed with this budget in order to give a better service and quality to all users of the Torrevieja beaches, from March until the end of October, which makes about 8 full months of giving this special service. Bibiano Vera has pointed that there is no other city in Spain which offers a watch service as intensive and wide as the one offered in Torrevieja, where 90 people are in charge of watching the Torrevieja coast: 25 watching towers on the beaches, 12 of which are located on the La Mata Beach, the largest one in Torrevieja.

Another one of the novelties for this 2007 Summer Season is that all Torrevieja Red Cross vehicles and boats have brought into operation a GPS service, as well as new mobile technology to all First Aid Points on the beaches to give a better and quicker service of communication to the Red Cross Head Office.

BRACELETS TO PREVENT FROM AN EVENTUAL CHILDREN LOSS ON THE BEACHES OF TORREVIEJA.

The Mayor of Torrevieja has underlined as an important novelty for this summer season a system of distribution of bracelets to children and old handicapped people for all those parents, relatives and friends who may wish to make use of this new service to prevent from an eventual loss of these people.

An identifying personal number will be grabbed on each one of these bracelets, and the First Aid Red Cross points will have a register of them with the name, telephone number of the father/mother/relative of the person wearing the bracelet.

Another novelty is that special flags of jellyfish warning presence will be installed on all Torrevieja beaches.
