The municipality reduced the number of annual rescues on its beaches in 2024
The number of health care has been reduced exponentially
The municipality of Santiago del Teide attended 8.86% less health care on municipal beaches during the past year 2024, a figure that emerges from the report made public by the company responsible for security and maintenance of municipal beaches, West Coast Rescue S.L.
These data show that preventive actions, aquatic risk disclosure campaigns by the consistory and the company, as well as the incorporation of a much more efficient incident register, with which all incidents are digitised in real time, are giving their results.
With respect to the data of the aforementioned report, 30% of the assistance on our coasts was over 60 years of age, highlighting that, of the 95 rescues, 41 were men and 54 women. In addition, among the health care, only 5.26% of the injured required transfer to a health centre.
