The executive director of Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador, Roberto Cruz, announced the Summer 2026 Rescue Plan, which will run from March 28 to April 5, with 1,500 volunteers participating to provide assistance to vacationers.

Comandos de Salvamento will make 55 ambulances available, distributed throughout the national territory, as well as 5 rescue units with vehicular and vertical rescue equipment and specialized personnel to free victims of traffic accidents who are trapped.

Lifeguards and diving teams will be stationed at several beaches and lakes in the country, as well as at tourist centers visited by thousands of national and foreign vacationers.

Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador will conduct a water rescue drill this Saturday, March 14, at El Majahual beach, in La Libertad Costa, where a boat will capsize in the depths of the Pacific Ocean and the lifeguards will carry out the rescues.

The Salvadoran Air Force has provided a helicopter with which Comandos de Salvamento and its lifeguard corps will conduct the airborne water rescue to measure the response capacity of those involved in a case of maximum urgency during the Holy Week vacation.

Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador has the unconditional support of the financial institution CACTIUSA de R.L., which will donate 600 shirts for the personnel participating in the Summer 2026 Rescue Plan.
