Yesterday, along the beach and on the sea in front of Margherita di Savoia (in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani ), a sea rescue and civil protection simulation called “Adriatic Tornado 2023 ” took place , organized by the Port Authority – Coast Guard of Barletta, assisted by the employee of the Local Maritime Office of Margherita di Savoia, as part of the exercises relating to search and rescue at sea (SEASUBSAREX) dis placed by the Operations Department of the Maritime Directorate of Bari, under the coordination of the Prefecture of Barletta-Andria-Trani.
According to what has been learned, the simulation concerned the response to a hypothetical sudden meteorological event (typewaterspout – tornado or waterspout ), which hit the coast of the Municipality of Margherita di Savoia:
this coastal area is in fact considered a realistic scenario prepared on the basis of a careful assessment of the risk of sudden summer climatic eventsoccurred in the past years, even if without particularly significant accidents. Today’s simulation thus verified the operational readiness and simultaneous intervention capabilities of the seaside safety organization both at sea and on the beach on the day of the 158th anniversary of the establishment of the Port Authority Corps (July 20). The activity carried out made it possible to test the operational readiness and the ability to respond to emergency situations, both of the collective rescue and beach service engaged along the salty coast, and of the personnel and crews of the Coast Guard’s air and naval vehicles, in competition with the local civil protection organizations and the Police Forces .
