The Emergency and Social Care Service of the City of Murcia is in advance notice in case it is necessary to reinforce the actions proposed in the Campaign of prevention of risks in the homeless due to the low temperatures.
In anticipation of the drop in temperatures in the coming hours could drop the thermometers below 0 degrees during the early morning, the SEMAS, dependent on the Department of Social Rights, puts at the disposal of these people blankets, sleeping bags and assistance what they may need
It is for this reason that an exit has been scheduled for this night, during the early hours of Wednesday to Thursday, to carry out the usual follow-ups.
It should be noted that this type of assistance has been provided since last November, so that most people who are on the street already have the material that has been delivered.
In addition, the SEMAS works in coordination with the Local Police that has blankets on the vehicles that are on duty during the night in case they meet people who have not yet received assistance.
To this joins that the Department of Social Rights has places for housing for those who agree to be moved.
Last Friday, the Councilors made an exit to assist 8 people, seven men and one woman, of Spanish, Bulgarian and French nationalities.
One of them was transferred to the Shelter Center of Jesus Abandoned.
During the trip, three blankets, two sleeping bags, as well as hot drinks were delivered, and the necessary information and advice service about the resources offered by Social Rights was provided.
