The residents of the neighborhoods of Jedey, Las spots and Tacande, in the municipality of El Paso (La Palma) already know the evacuation plan in the event of a volcanic eruption on the Island. It has been the City Council itself that has informed the citizens, and has recommended “to have a backpack ready with a change of clothes, hygiene items, medicines, if any, and important documentation,” explain sources from the consistory.
In the event that the evacuation had to be carried out, the meeting point of the citizens would be at the Atlético Paso soccer field. At that moment, the team planned by the Red Cross would be in charge of the distribution that would include housing those affected in family homes, the El Paso Sports Pavilion or the El Fuerte Barracks located between Los Cancajos and Santa Cruz de La Palma.

The Scientific Committee of the Special Plan for Civil Protection and Attention to Emergencies due to Volcanic Risk (Pevolca), meeting this Thursday, has recommended to the Plan’s management to maintain the volcanic traffic light in yellow in the Cumbre Vieja area, covering the municipalities of Fuencaliente, Los Llanos of Aridane, El Paso and Mazo, and does not rule out that it will intensify in the short term.
In addition, the deformation has increased reaching an accumulated value of 10 centimeters, very localized in the environment of the seismicity.
