Jet Set tragedy: free helpline opens for U.S.-based Dominicans

Santo Domingo.- The Government Information and Communications Technology Office (OGTIC) has launched a toll-free helpline—1-800-969-0677—for Dominicans living in the United States seeking official information about victims of the Jet Set nightclub collapse in Santo Domingo.

Developed in coordination with emergency agencies like the Emergency Operations Center (COE), the line provides updated details on those affected, including their health status and the medical facilities where they’ve been taken. The service is staffed by trained personnel and will be available 24/7 today (Wednesday, April 9), and from 8:00 a.m. to midnight starting tomorrow.

Additionally, the nationwide *462 service (option 1) is operating with extended hours until midnight and will return to its regular weekday schedule thereafter. OGTIC has also published a list of injured individuals and their assigned health centers on its website, www.ogtic.gob.do, offering quick access to verified updates.
