São Vicente: Civil Protection assesses damage and losses until mid-October to implement “resilient recovery”

Mindelo, September 16 (Inforpress) - Civil Protection will collect data in São Vicente to determine the damage and losses in each sector after the storm and the best mechanism for a resilient recovery.

This information was provided to the press by the president of the National Civil Protection and Fire Service (SNPCB), Domingos Mendes Tavares, after the opening of the training seminar on Damage and Post-Disaster Needs (PDNA), in São Vicente, aimed at technicians with the aim of training them in impact assessment and post-disaster recovery planning.

According to Domingos Mendes Tavares, initially, they carried out a risk assessment in around 23 areas of São Vicente to determine the losses and damages, together with the Crisis Office.

This, he added, allowed the government to take action and begin supporting both families and businesses. However, he clarified, more thorough work will now be carried out, until mid-October, to obtain more concrete and reliable data on damage and losses.
