📋 Tender Overview
El Gorel, through his National Defense Office, successfully conducted the first flood drill in the A.H. Bonita Isla, Bethlehem district.This activity was part of the national multipurpose simulation and focused on one of the most recurrent risks in the region: floods. The exercise allowed to evaluate the level of population preparation and the effectiveness of the evacuation plans before an emergency of great magnitude.
During the day, critical scenarios were simulated that allowed neighbors to practice evacuation procedures using previously identified routes. The reaction was immediate and orderly, evidencing an adequate level of knowledge of security measures. Likewise, the meeting points and collection centers were activated, verifying their operation and real response capacity.
The simulation has been crucial to strengthen our reaction capacity in situations of this type. The active participation of the population has been key, and the results provide us with a solid basis to perfect our contingency plans and continue strengthening risk management in Loreto, said Ing. Luis Felipe Chong Vasquez, director of the Regional Office of National Defense.
The exercise also allowed to measure inter -institutional coordination between the Armed Forces, the National Police, Geresa, Samu, Civil Defense, the General Bomberos Corps and the local authorities. Although important advances were recorded, aspects were identified to improve, especially in communication and logistics issues, which will contribute to optimize attention in eventual real emergencies.
This drill represents a significant advance in the preparation of the Isla Bonita human settlement in the face of a phenomenon that threatens the safety of thousands of families in the region. The acquired experience will serve as a reference to replicate these actions in other vulnerable areas and consolidate a more solidenoreto solid prevention culture.
