Proposal

Provide a way to locate rescue equipment commonly found on beaches and in harbours for example. This is often life rings, ropes, ladders and hooks for rescuing people from water, but it could be other sorts of rescue equipment.

Examples

In Denmark, there is rescue equipment in most marinas, as well as on most popular beaches.

Tagging
