Kory Ernster's and Emily MacDonald's families donate lifesaving robot EMILY to Silver Beach County Park.

Two drowning victims' families, Kory Ernster's and Emily MacDonald's, donated lifesaving robot EMILY (Emergency Integrated Lifesaving Lanyard) to Silver Beach County Park. The remote-controlled paddleboat can reach struggling swimmers faster than lifeguards, saving more lives. The families hope the donation will encourage beaches without lifeguards to reinstate their programs, with the ultimate goal of having an EMILY drone at every beach along Lake Michigan's coastline.
