In order to guarantee the safety and wellbeing of people and visitors in establishments, the 24th Municipal Administration of Tijuana, led by Mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramírez, has intensified its efforts to make sure that companies and institutions in the city have a Civil Protection Internal Program (PIPC).

The head of the Municipal Directorate of Civil Protection, Miguel Ángel Ceballos Ramírez, claimed that this agency's staff constantly visits businesses, factories, schools, among others, to review that they have this program.

He explained that the document must have general and specific information about how to handle one or several risks, whether natural or human, that could create a local and major emergency or even disasters.

"This is a document that is divided into three parts or subsections that contemplate the prevention, aid, and recovery regarding an emergency. In short, what to do before, during, and after something that happens that can put people at risk," he said.

The official explained that a PIPC is "tailor-made" to every public, private, or social place, as the document made for one place cannot be used for another because every place has different factors or conditions.

Ceballos Ramírez emphasized that a PIPC must have emergency plans to cover needs and aid in case of a fire, earthquake, rain, extreme temperatures, landslides, or dangerous leaks, among others.

He reiterated that for any business or institution to operate they must have a PIPC, which must be periodically updated. Anyone who is subject to his measure or those currently in a regularization process can check out more information about this topic at Civil Protection.
