In a second line of action, and taking into account that emotional injuries are as real and serious as physical ones, courses have been given to prepare the interveners to deal with this type of situation as a guarantee of better emotional stability and to be capable of managing the emotional states that arise from their activity in the field of emergencies, with themselves and with the people who are affected by this type of situation.
Training activities are also carried out on emergency protocols, where experts in this field have shared their knowledge with emergency responders, with the aim of promoting and disseminating a culture of prevention against risks and disasters, as well as promoting coordination between various emergency assistance and intervention services.
