El Cabildo autoriza nuevo local en Puerto Naos y aumenta medidores

The island president, Sergio Rodríguez, reminds that the deadline to request mandatory meters for access to homes and premises ends on May 31st.

The Cabildo de La Palma, through its Insular Emergency Plan (Peinpal), authorizes the opening of a new establishment in Puerto Naos, El Tropicana, making a total of 19 enabled since the return to this place. Additionally, the number of meters installed in the area has been increased.

«In the last month, 48 more devices have been installed and this number will continue to increase in the coming days, adding another fifty. Currently, there are 1,458 measuring devices inside infrastructures and 220 outside,» explained the island president, Sergio Rodríguez.

Rodríguez emphasizes that «we continue to take steps towards normality, with safety as the main element to consider. Our goal is for all residents, both from Puerto Naos and La Bombilla, to return to their homes and establishments in the shortest period possible, and for that, as has happened throughout this time, we want to ensure that there is no danger to their health.»

«If there is no sensor, we have no argument to authorize any return to the housing. The protocol must be signed because it is a commitment that the established rules will be followed to ensure a safe return to the area.»

The president also points out that currently, it is estimated that around a hundred homes are yet to request meters in Puerto Naos.

Regarding housing, there are currently 1,033 authorized houses in Puerto Naos, of which 759 have signed the security protocol. As for La Bombilla, there are 45 homes that have been able to be inhabited again.

Appearance of dead insects in a building in Puerto Naos

Regarding the reports of dead insects in a building in Puerto Naos, personnel from the Department of Security and Emergencies went to the area to conduct a study of these spaces. It was found that it is a structure completely surrounded by landscaped areas and where, in addition, CO2 measurement values have historically been normal.

Furthermore, meters were installed in the following days to check for possible fluctuations in emissions, without any changes being observed. The discovery of these insects is located in the upper part of the building, in an open area just below a dome, with this large skylight being related to the death of these insects.
