Anticipating a flood scenario, the State Ministry of Health (Sesacre) was present on Friday and Saturday, the 20th and 21st, in the municipalities of Cruzeiro do Sul and Tarawaca, carrying out actions via the Juroa River Flood Alert Quota.
By aligning strategies with the Civil Defense, the Health Secretariat of the Municipality of Cruzeiro do Sul and the Juroa Regional Office, the visit aimed to put the emergency plan into action and to identify methods of monitoring in emergency situations.
This action resulted in the inspection of health units, surveying the number of beds, the amount of inputs and equipment available in the area, to counter a possible flooding of the Jurua River.
Sesacre works in these emergencies, supporting municipalities and structuring hospital units to receive patients from flood victims.
