So we've gone from fires to the rain, The Ministry of National Disaster Risk Management now has a whole new set of weather variables to contend with.
Minister Andre Perez spoke with us today about what his team and NEMO have been doing to prepare.
Andre Perez, Minister of Blue Economy
"We have discussed. I've had several meetings, many meetings relating to that. The fire, and after the fire and how we will do with recovery, and also including the preparations in the event of floods, we will have to re-deploy so all of this is being planned out of course we are exhausted, but we are prepared."
Jo-
"Does Mexico's situation pose a concern to us?"
Andre Perez, Minister of Blue Economy
"Well it's the entire region we are looking at the floods and you saw what happened in the news. We saw it up north, especially in the village of August Pine Ridge in the western part of the Orange Walk district. But you know NEMO is far more way ahead than where we were 10 - 15 years ago and I want to see that positivity and the engagement that we have as the minister and our CEO the entire department the way how disaster risk management is inherently linked and lined up with the Ministry of Blue Economy it's all in one so it's pretty much and we are in excited in terms of being inspired and motivated and today what happened here today is part of putting everything together."
