Santo Domingo.- The Dominican Civil Defense has officially commenced its annual training and supervision of beach resorts to ensure a timely and efficient response during the 2025 Easter Week operation.

Executive Director Juan Salas emphasized the importance of preparing volunteers and technicians, highlighting a recent training camp in Sabaneta, San Juan de la Maguana. These sessions focus on emergency response, risk management, and life-saving techniques such as Basic First Aid and Water Rescue. Salas also announced additional training programs in the coming days.
