How many times have you seen furious quarrels on the beach born because someone has occupied an place on the seashore near an organised beach or perhaps controversies for taking a dog onto the public beach?
To protect and ensure suitable assistance and safety on beaches on the whole national territory or at least on the length of the Italian coastline, there is a service called «Emergenza in mare e sulle spiagge. Numero Blu 1530» (Emergency at sea and on beaches. Blue number 1530).
Numero Blu is a free service offered by Harbour-Offices for the safeguarding of human life at sea and the safety of the citizen.
The service can be contacted calling 1530. If the call is from a mobile you communicate directly with the General Operation Central, which will take care to activate the necessary rescue operations; if you call 1530 from fixed telephones you contact the Harbour Offices of that particular district.
Emergency at sea and at the beach. Blue Number 1530, guarantees assistance in every place of the over 8000 kilometres of Italian coast.
