Indeed, the launch of this Civil Protection awareness campaign on the prevention of drownings and the dangers linked to the summer season continues under the slogan “Together for a summer without losses”.
Indeed, several participants and speakers are taking part and this campaign will last until the end of the current month of June. This week, the awareness convoy launched on the prevention of dangers linked to the summer season, in particular drownings in dams and hill reservoirs, wadis and other water points, with the participation of several actors, including the Conservation services forests, agriculture, trade, water resources and the Algerian Muslim Scouts.
The awareness convoy went to the municipalities of Sidi Lakhdar and Stidia to reach the different regions of the wilaya towards the end of June. The convoy program includes, it is noted, three axes, including the dangers of drowning in dams and bodies of water, forest fires and agricultural crops, as well as food poisoning.
Swimming in summer, which abounds in dams and bodies of water frequented by young people, given the sharp rise in temperatures and the lack of leisure infrastructure, is the cause of cases of drowning, including most resulted in deaths.
