"The use of this protocol has already prevented the fall of several large-tonnage branches on public roads that could have caused serious incidents, we act proactively and the protocols work correctly"
"Technical protocols like this one are carried out in a large number of cities, some governed by the PSOE-Podemos"
The Councilor for Modernization of Administration and Urban Development has reminded the Municipal Socialist Group and Councilman Juan Vicente La Rosa that "our goal is to ensure the safety of Murcia and this is above any populist PSOE policy" which also has clarified that "We act rigorously following a strict protocol, marked by the municipal technicians."
"The use of this protocol has already prevented the fall of several high-tonnage branches on public roads that could have caused serious incidents, we act proactively and the protocols work correctly" added José Guillén.
Specifically, on July 7, these trees, the largest in the municipality, were exhaustively reviewed, according to security protocols, detecting a slit in a branch of a ficus that presented a fall risk.
And thanks to this second revision, after the garden closed for 24 hours in a preventive way, they found the fissure and prevented it from falling.
"We act on time and the technical protocols work correctly, just the opposite of the lack of foresight, we carry out a clear and defined protocol that is independent of any subjective assessment" added José Guillén.
The inspections are periodic and the technicians of Parks and Gardens of the City council supervise of specific form these trees, cataloged like singular.
The ficus macrofila are a species that even extreme care and precautions suffer unpredictable landslides (as happened with the ficus of Santo Domingo) in situations of high temperatures or heat waves such as we are suffering from sustained in the past days in our Region.
For this reason, technicians, preventively and applying protocols, restrict access to areas with trees of this type in the municipality of Murcia are three: Santo Domingo Garden Floridablanca and artillery barracks.
"They lie more than they talk, the garden is closed from Friday, August 3, which is 5 days, not 7 as indicated by the PSOE, we also act in anticipation of the AEMET that warned of the yellow alert these days. tomorrow we are reviewing the trees again and if there is no risk it is planned to open the garden again tomorrow "remarked José Guillén.
The councilor explains that in addition, the closing of fenced gardens is also taking place in other cities.
Specifically, this procedure is also carried out in many other cities, some with a municipal government supported by PSOE-Podemos.
The Popular Party councilor insists that if they read the news, and be updated, they would know that new technologies are also being applied to inform the state in real time of these copies.
Specifically, in the Floridablanca Garden there are also 10 sensors that increase the security controls reporting humidity in the environment of the tree, temperature, irrigation, soil moisture, as well as foliar.
This pioneering initiative, since it is the first time in all Spain that is carried out on ornamental trees, allows to have enough data to determine a historical and predict tree stress situations and minimize risks.
The technology used to take constants and monitor tree data is a state-of-the-art technology in which a low-energy device stores the tree's constants every minute and sends them to a cloud system where they are stored. all data.
These data are sent through a wireless system of low consumption and can be monitored through the fixed or mobile devices of the technicians of the City of Murcia.
The devices are designed to be powered by solar energy and also have a last generation design that allows them to have a minimum energy consumption, and a minimal impact on the environment.
"I suppose that the parents of the children who habitually play in that garden will not think as much about the preventive closure as the socialist councilor Juan Vicente La Rosa who apparently does not frequent the area very much" added José Guillén, stressing that while he is a responsible councilor , the priority will always be the safety of Murcia over attacks, political criticism or populist actions such as those proposed by the PSOE.
