Valencian Beaches Get High-Tech Help: Drones Join Rescue Efforts Sagunt, Spain – Valencian beaches are enhancing their safety measures with the integration of drones into their maritime rescue operations. A recent simulation exercise at Port Sagunt beach, featured in a video by À Punt Mèdia, showcased the effectiveness of this technology. The exercise involved a simulated drowning victim, and the drone quickly located and provided visual guidance for the rescue team. "The speed at which the drone located the victim was key," stated a rescue team member in the video. The initiative involves twenty beaches across the region, significantly improving response times and potentially saving lives. The use of drones represents a significant advancement in beach safety, offering a cost-effective and efficient tool for lifeguards and rescue personnel. This technology is expected to become a vital part of beach safety protocols across the region and potentially serve as a model for other coastal areas.
