Surf Life Saving NSW (SLNSW), with State Government funding, have installed a new Beach Rescue Station at Racecourse Beach.
How Does It Work
ERBs have been and continue to be rolled out across locations where volunteer lifesavers and lifeguards do not patrol, extending the reach of lifesaving operations.
With the push of a button, members of the public can be connected to the SLSNSW State Operations Centre, where a State Duty Officer will be on hand to gather important information, issue instructions or provide reassurance in an emergency situation.
They can then decide on the most appropriate response to the emergency, calling on jetskis, inflatable rescue boats, volunteer callout teams from surf clubs, lifeguards, or helicopter or drone services.
