Second day with the volcano off
After more than three months of continuous emissions, Pevolca officially ended the eruption last Saturday, December 25, after 10 days of inactivity.
However, this Monday’s meeting arrives with the island still on a red light, that is, in an emergency situation due to a volcanic eruption.
In addition to the monitoring work of the volcano carried out by the scientists and while the degassing of the affected area continues, with Sánchez’s visit, the rehousing plan in the evacuated areas will begin to be studied.
A “safe, orderly, gradual and gradual relocation”
The streams cover an area of 1,219 hectares, to which are added 48 hectares reclaimed from the sea with the addition of two lava deltas; For this reason, it is essential that the relocation be “safe, orderly, gradual and gradual”, as stated by the director of Pevolca and counselor of the Government of the Canary Islands, Julio Pérez.
The number of demolished buildings amounts to 2,988 according to the estimates of the European satellite system Copernicus; although the data provided by the Cadastre count place them at around 1,576.
