Riga City Council has completed a project in which stands with lifebuoys have been installed at five locations along the Riga city canal. They are meant to make it possible to quickly help a person who ends up in the water. The step is one of the civil protection measures introduced in response to tragic accidents that have occurred in the canal in recent years.
The project is being carried out by the Environment Department of the municipality's Housing and Environment Department, together with the Civil Protection and Operational Information Department.
Preparatory work
Before the stands were installed, specialists surveyed possible locations and carried out preparatory work in the chosen areas.
The design of the stands follows the municipality's visual identity and information stand design guidelines. As a result, the information displayed on them is clear and easy to understand.
What comes next
The municipality plans to continue such measures next year. The source does not specify what additional work or how many new stands are planned.
