SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Feb. 18 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Civil Guard continues to carry out various prevention services on the island of La Palma in relation to the emergency caused by the volcanic eruption with the aim of continuing to ensure the physical integrity of all citizens.
The CBRN Technical Unit and the Subsoil Reconnaissance Unit displaced from Madrid continue with the measurements in the areas of La Bombilla, Puerto Naos, as well as in the area of the volcanic cone.
Currently the measurement of gases continues to be very high in sulfur in the cone area and in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in Puerto Naos and La Bombilla, so if you stay in these areas it poses a high risk to health.
The Civil Guard reiterates to all citizens residing in the areas affected by the eruption to follow the recommendations that the competent authorities are permanently establishing to protect all citizens against the serious dangers that these levels of harmful gases entail and that are capable of producing the death of both animals and people.
Likewise, remember that there are still restricted areas in which access is not possible for the safety of citizens, and you must take into account that those who do not comply with the regulations may be sanctioned based on Law 17/2015, of 9 July, from the National Civil Protection System.
The Civil Guard recommends that citizens always follow the instructions that the competent authorities in the matter continuously establish in their profiles or official channels.
