The Mobile Social Service Emergency Service (SEMAS), under the Department of Social and Family Rights, which Pilar Torres directs, has attended since the high temperatures began about 40 homeless people.
The device put in place provides these people with water, food, clothing, transportation, emergency accommodation and transfer or accompaniment to Jesus Abandoned and the Foundation Support Network for Social and Labor Integration (RAIS).
The SEMAS thus intensifies its attention at noon and in the afternoon during these dates of extreme temperature in the framework of the 'Operation Heat'.
"That is why we want to highlight the work that this service provides to people in social exclusion, establishing personal contact, studying their situation and generating a link that facilitates the intervention with this group," says Pilar Torres.
SEMAS carries out a special follow-up to avoid the effects that prolonged exposure to high temperatures can have on health.
It develops its work in teams of two people, made up of a social worker and a local policeman, attending to the most at risk citizens, who are provided with relevant hydration means, while they are informed about the strategies that can be applied. Adopt to reduce the impact of heat on your body.
They are also informed about the different municipal social resources at their disposal.
