He indicated that the creation of the command contemplates the formation of a Scene Analysis Unit that, he pointed out, has high-tech equipment, drones, and a search and rescue component.
«The strengthening of the National System of Prevention and Attention to Emergencies and Disasters guarantees citizen security and environmental protection. These actions seek to mitigate and control forest fires, in order to safeguard biological diversity and natural resources,” said Ceballos, quoted on social networks by the Interior portfolio.
During the act, the Ministry of the Interior and Justice delivered “equipment”, without defining the type of materials, so that this command and the entire disaster response system can “actively combat these natural events.”
These are devices that the government has gradually activated in each entity. At the end of February, for example, the governor of the state of Lara, Adolfo Pereira, led the activation of the Unified Command against Forest Fires for the Protection of the Environment, with the purpose of being vigilant during the dry season in the national territory.
