COE emits yellow alert for the Atlantic coast

The center of emergency operations (COE) ordered yesterday yellow alert for the Atlantic coast, from Cape Engaño to Manzanillo including the Bay of Samana.

The measure is due to the heavy swells that occur in the area, which reach up to 10 feet, being above sea inland with winds of up to 20 knots.

In that regard, fragile and small craft should remain in port for waves abnormal, while the swimmers should use caution when using beaches in these coastal, until the situation returns to normal.

Similarly, the COE requests the institutions of Civil protection in coastal sea level towns be vigilant and take measures for possible penetration by sea.

Among the actions that the population should take into account before possible penetration by sea are follow the guidelines and guidance of the u000acivil defence organizations, small and fragile craft users coordinate with the different ports of the Navy of war and Politur.

Also keep in touch with Civil Defense, armed forces, Red Cross, the national police, fire department and this emergency operations through the 9-1-1 Center, * 462 of the OPTIC and 809-472-0909
