The operational team will be composed of 454 Foruzaingo agents, 122 Navarre fire‑fighter agents, 25 Civil Protection personnel, six traffic officers, 380 civil guards, 75 national police officers and numerous local volunteers. Authorities emphasise coordination between emergency services and preventive measures to ensure safe viewing conditions for both residents and visitors travelling to the Foral Community for the event.
