After a series of interventions in schools this week, as well as the holding of two Compagnons Bâtisseurs workshops focusing on resilience in the face of major risks, this demonstration will be an opportunity to highlight the importance of sea rescue actions and the resources deployed to protect the population in the event of an emergency.

The entire population is cordially invited to come and attend this event, to discover the rescue techniques and the commitment of the security actors on our territory.
