The municipality has the INUNLOR Plan, which is one of the few approved in the Region;
the SISMILOR Plan, which will be approved imminently after being enriched with the experience gained in the earthquakes of 2011, and 7 special plans for events
The Councilor for Emergencies of the City of Lorca, Juan Miguel Bayonas, wanted to respond to the criticism this morning expressed by IU in relation to emergency plans to catastrophes with which the Consistory Lorca.
Juan Miguel Bayonas has stated that "it is not necessary for Ms. Martín to demand an Emergency Plan that is already in place. Our city has a Special Emergency Plan for Seismic Risk (SISMILOR), which is in the approval phase It should be noted that this Plan was drafted prior to the earthquake in May 2011, but thanks to the experience that the Emergency Services had during the quake, it was possible to see what improvements this Plan needed before being presented to the Commission Regional Office for Civil Protection, formed by a state and a regional body. In addition, SISMILOR was approved by the Local Government Board and currently Lorca is the only population in the Region of Murcia that has an Emergency Plan of these characteristics in the homologation".
The Councilor for Emergencies, in this sense, has stated that "from the City of Lorca we do not understand the meaning that Mrs. Martín has wanted to give the unfortunate statements he has made this morning and we ask you to stop unnecessarily alarm the Lorca, a city that is model in terms of Emergency Plans. In addition, we invite you to give a press conference, with issues as important for citizens as are the emergency plans for any catastrophe, we do not know where it will have obtained this information, which is totally wrong.We encourage you to first resolve your doubts before the professionals who work 365 days a year at the Comprehensive Center for Emergencies and Security before appearing before the media. "
Bayonas has stressed that "no population of the Region of Murcia has a local Emergency Plan as SISMILOR is. Therefore, Lorca is a benchmark and there is more to see that in 2012 a delegation of Chilean authorities visited Lorca to meet first hand, the municipal emergency management system implemented in the city after the elaboration of the SISMILOR Plan. In the same way, we must remind Ms. Martín of the existence of the Territorial Plan for Civil Protection of the Municipality of Lorca (PLATELOR). it starts up before any emergency not foreseen by another type of plan.
The Edil de Emergencias has indicated that "it is still worth noting that in addition to SISMILOR and PLATELOR we also have a flood risk plan, INUNLOR, the first to be approved by a local Murcia administration and the few to be approved in our regional territory.We also have special plans for the development of any major event that can be developed in our municipality: Holy Week, Fair, Fericab, Sepor, San Clemente, Christmas and Kings and Carnival, Lorca being a reference to regional and national level in emergency planning.
Juan Miguel Bayonas has taken the opportunity to congratulate "the municipal technicians who have always demonstrated their selflessness and their usefulness to the population before any emergency suffered in Lorca, acting in an absolutely flawless way, that is why a CIES was built to the height of excellence. security professionals and local emergencies, and that was already operational during the floods of 2012. And because we talk about logistics, we must remind Ms. Martín that the Center for Attention to Damnificates was located in the Plaza de España when the earthquakes of 2011 because the buildings were being evaluated, thus guaranteeing the safety in the attention of the people who needed help, normal process before a catastrophe like an earthquake.
