There is a lot of seismic-volcanic education in Spain and the islands," lamented this Friday at the I International Congress of Kitchens and Volcanic Ecosystems Worldcanic, the scientific disseminator Mike Sánchez , who stressed that "prevention is living . "
During a round table dedicated to the La Palma volcano , this expert known as MIK3 and author of the blog Vivir entre volcanes, recalled that "what has happened in La Palma can happen in Tenerife", and while in other volcanic islands such as Sicilia o Iceland the population is more prepared and informed, in Spain "much remains to be done".
Sánchez, who believes that the Cumbre Vieja activity will last six months, calls for drills, creation of emergency channels and instructing the inhabitants of the area from schools in the style of the 'Big Shake' program, which was born in California (United States) , but it connects several risky countries of the world in one big drill.
"We must not be afraid of volcanoes, we must respect them and know how to live with them," said this popularizer, for whom it is important to learn from each catastrophe so as not to repeat mistakes and it is necessary "to continue learning from volcanoes because we live among them" .
The Government of the Canary Islands completes the purchase of 46 homes for the victims of the La Palma volcano
For this reason, he considers it essential to develop emergency plans for areas of seismic and volcanic risk that include, for example for the second case, "a place to store the ashes that the volcano expels, because it is a very rich material to sow in the future, but if you throw them down the drain when it rains it compacts and can cause flooding. "
"I have heard every madness about what to do with lava ... You have to let it run its course," Sánchez told Efe, for whom, in the case of La Palma, "it has not been well informed, perhaps because it does not alarm the public. population, but the main thing is human life and the traffic light should have been activated at the time, because volcanoes give predictive signals before they erupt. "
He thinks that it could be due to prioritizing tourism, but he recalled that if he acts correctly, visitors will also feel "more sheltered, they will see that the Canaries are safe islands."
Mike Sánchez has pointed out that "it seems that the volcano (Cumbre Vieja) is stabilizing" and the victims will be able "little by little to recover normality" with a long-term future in which there may be a growth in production and agricultural diversity , as has happened in other areas because "the same thing that takes us away, a volcano gives us."
