Overview
- Operação Verão began statewide on December 19 with public simulations in Copacabana and will run throughout the summer.
- Mobile rescue posts are being positioned along the coast to increase operational mobility and follow crowd flows and sea conditions.
- Drones broadcast audible warnings to steer bathers from risky areas, with additional units using high‑resolution and thermal cameras for monitoring.
- In the Região dos Lagos, 195 lifeguards are deployed, including 88 in Cabo Frio, where seasonal posts reopen and teams use jet skis, boats and quadricycles.
- The corps expanded its additional service regime and partnered with municipalities, and a revitalized 2nd Maritime Group unit in Barra da Tijuca is slated for delivery to enhance response capacity.
