In a recent interview on Onda Cero’s Más de Uno Marbella program, Macías emphasized the importance of planning for such events. He explained that, should a tsunami or earthquake occur in Marbella, the damages would likely be minimal, thanks to the city’s strategic planning and infrastructure resilience. However, the expert underscored the need to have specific resources, training, and awareness in place to handle these emergencies effectively.
Macías, whose expertise lies in the study of seismic activity and coastal risks, pointed out that although these events are not frequent, having a preparedness plan is crucial for the safety of both residents and visitors. He stressed the role of local authorities, citizens, and researchers in ensuring the plan’s success.
The emergency plan is still in the early stages, but it marks a significant step for the coastal city, which is highly vulnerable to such natural phenomena. As Marbella works to finalize its strategies, the initiative sets a positive example for other Andalusian cities to follow in addressing these potential threats.
Marbella’s proactive approach is not only about safeguarding the city’s infrastructure but also about creating a well-informed public capable of responding swiftly and safely in the event of a crisis. With its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast, the city’s commitment to disaster preparedness reflects the increasing importance of resilience in the face of natural risks.
