Santo Domingo.<\/strong>\u2013 The National Office for Seismic Evaluation and Vulnerability of Infrastructure<\/a> and Buildings (Onesvie) reports that, through its Southern Delegation, and in coordination with the Governor’s Office of Bahoruco Province<\/strong> and the Neiba Municipal City Hall<\/strong>, it will convene public sector authorities and civil society representatives to work together to mitigate seismic risk and vulnerability<\/strong> in buildings, infrastructure, and vital lifelines in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative seeks to strengthen the population’s preparedness<\/strong> for the possible occurrence of seismic events, promoting actions aimed at prevention, civic education, and inter-institutional coordination<\/strong>. As part of these efforts, the preventive campaign \u201cVoices that Prevent\u201d<\/strong> was socialized, a proposal focused on raising community awareness about the importance of adopting preventive measures that contribute to protecting lives and assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a meeting held at the Bahoruco Provincial Government office, the governor Mar\u00eda Esther D\u00edaz Medina<\/strong>, together with Jeferson Reyes D\u00edaz<\/strong>, representing the mayor of Neiba, Yadel Antonio Suberv\u00ed<\/strong>, learned about the scope of the initiative and expressed their support for the actions that will be developed for the benefit of the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this first approach, the authorities exchanged experiences and approaches regarding the main challenges facing Bahoruco in terms of prevention and risk management<\/strong>. Likewise, they agreed on the need to strengthen coordination mechanisms to effectively<\/strong> address the effects of natural phenomena, especially seismic events.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants highlighted that prevention constitutes the most effective tool<\/strong> to protect human lives and reduce material losses. In that sense, they valued the creation of spaces for dialogue, training, and awareness<\/strong> that allow for strengthening local capacities and improving the response to potential emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Governor Mar\u00eda Esther D\u00edaz reported that, to ensure the success of the event, all sectors of the province will be summoned, including engineers, architects, and surveyors grouped in the Dominican College of Engineers, Architects and Surveyors<\/strong> (Codia), as well as public school principals, representatives of private schools, neighborhood associations, merchants, and the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For his part, Miguel L\u00f3pez<\/strong>, in charge of the Southern Delegation of Onesvie and representative of the institution’s general director, engineer Leonardo Reyes Madera<\/strong>, explained that \u201cVoices that Prevent\u201d incorporates an important educational component<\/strong> aimed at raising the level of public awareness regarding the need to know, adopt, and disseminate preventive measures<\/strong> that allow for an adequate response to the eventual occurrence of a major earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the meeting, held in the meeting room of the Bahoruco Provincial Government, the authorities present made a commitment to work in a coordinated manner<\/strong> to ensure the success of the \u201cVoices that Prevent\u201d conference, reaffirming Onesvie’s commitment to continue promoting awareness, training, and institutional coordination<\/strong> actions that contribute to strengthening the resilience of Dominican communities<\/strong> in the face of seismic risks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
