World Drowning Prevention Day
Le località Bandiera Blu ricordano che ogni annegamento è prevenibile: esistono soluzioni
July 25th is World Drowning Prevention Day.
This is a WHO initiative following the April 2021 UN Resolution and aims to highlight the tragic and profound impact of drowning and offer lifesaving prevention strategies.
“Every drowning is preventable. Solutions exist.”
This year, all #BlueFlag locations in Italy have dedicated the day to raising awareness and providing information on the need to prevent drowning, through meetings with institutions and professionals, demonstrations on beach safety and first aid, and workshops for children.
“Blue Flag: Stay safe on the lake.”
