Frutera Workers and Community Leaders from Escuintla are Being Trained to Respond to Natural Disasters


Escuintla, Guatemala (PRWEB) November 15, 2012

Together, 35 employees of the Frutera farms and more than one hundred leaders of the neighboring communities received training for response and evacuation in case of natural disasters, a course given by the National Coordinator for the Reduction of Disasters-CONRED-.

Following up on the Local Coordinators-COLRED-formed two years ago in the farms and communities to respond and prepare in case of natural disasters, this training was coordinated and information on the new structure of COLRED was given, for a smooth operation at action time.

The group of 35 trained employees formed a new COLRED in Frutera’s farms, which means that they are accredited to lead actions in cases of emergency and prevention.
