President Martin Vizcarra has affirmed it is necessary to undertake continuing efforts on natural disaster prevention and ratified his commitment to promoting training and a culture of prevention among Peruvian citizens.
Months before a drill, the government will work on informing and educating members of society, including children, parents, and the general population, so they can be prepared to face these natural events.
This year, the National Civil Defense Institute (Indeci) will work with the Japanese technical team to
adapt the methodology presented at the meeting. Plus, they will plan the night-time
earthquake and tsunami drill to take place on November 5.
Remarks were made during the closing ceremony of the Natural Disaster and Early Warning Management Meeting. This event was co-organized by the Japanese Embassy in Peru and Indeci.
On the occasion, the President was joined by Ministers Nestor Popolizio (Foreign Affairs), Jose Huerta (Defense) and Japanese officials.
