“We have learned from the hard experience of the past, we have drawn necessary lessons, but also from our country and from other European experiences. I do not claim that we have faced all the distortions and problems, we have a long way to go, we still want many substantial steps of improvement . But in this great effort, which is being made, we see that we must continue to improve, strengthening the quintessence of the management of natural disasters which is prevention, but also the readiness of this whole mechanism which must be based on coordination”.
Practically, as he said, “we made the decision with great efforts, with difficulties, to have more aerial means”. At the same time, he added, “we have increased ground and air patrols, preventive and preparedness in a project. We have proceeded to early notification when we are in a risk category of danger index 4 to create areas where access is not allowed”.
