Marbella improves beach safety with an identification bracelet system

The Marbella City Council has once again made available to beachgoers an identification bracelet system aimed at children and vulnerable persons, with the goal of facilitating their location in case they get lost and enhancing safety during their stay on the coast. The initiative, coordinated by the lifeguard and rescue service, involves the free distribution of these items made of water-resistant synthetic material with a high-visibility design. This initiative allows for a quick alert to emergency services in case of potential disorientation.

Additionally, the municipality's 17 rescue stations are equipped with a specific action protocol, and each bracelet includes a numerical code and an identifying color, while contact information is solely recorded by the lifeguard staff and transferred to the coordination center. This ensures data protection, as the device does not display personal information. If someone is lost, the procedure dictates that the rescuer who finds the missing person identifies the code and contacts Coordination, from where the relatives are immediately notified.

The system is operational on weekends and will operate daily from June 1st

This system will be operational on weekends and holidays until June 1st, and subsequently, it will function every day during the peak season. During the last Easter campaign, the device helped manage the location of four lost individuals among the interventions carried out by the beach service.

The Marbella City Council reminds that the bracelets can be requested at any of the rescue stations and recommends their use especially on days of high attendance or in large areas. The lifeguard service also continues to perform prevention and continuous information tasks aimed at users, in order to promote a safe and responsible use of the coast.
