Hydronalix wisely approached the world-renowned Los Angeles County Lifeguards for input on the potential to use this technology for lifesaving purposes. “EMILY will never replace ocean lifeguards,” Mulligan commented, “but it may be able to get to drowning victims quickly enough to buy time until trained lifeguards arrive.” EMILY will need to be controlled by a qualified lifeguard who is trained to recognize hazardous ocean conditions, such as rip currents, in which swimmers may be inadvertently caught. EMILY may also have a future application in assisting in locating missing swimmers, as well as finding downed aircraft or sunken vessels.
This project is in a limited, prototype phase that will require more research and development before being routinely seen on local beaches. However, Lifeguard Division Chief, Mike Frazer, noted that, “We owe it to the taxpayer to explore potential technology that could assist public safety and well being.”

Your L.A. County Fire Lifeguards want you to safely enjoy the sun and beach this summer by following a few safety tips;
- Always swim by an open lifeguard tower
- Swim between the orange flags
- Use a leash and fins when body-boarding
- Keep young children close at hand
- When in doubt about any aspect of your beach experience, ask a lifeguard for direction.
