and response in cases of traffic accidents, mass movements and floods. This is to ensure the safety of those who, during
the holidays, decide to stay in the capital.

Department of Security of the Municipality reported that, since Wednesday, February 22, the drying of 33 pools in the north,
center and south of the city began. These pools will be disabled until next March 1st.
