Emergency agencies in Chile and Mexico conduct safety drills

In Chile's Maule region, CONAF, CORMA, and Bomberos de Chile are strengthening strategic and operational coordination to prepare for the 2026-2027 wildfire season. The collaboration focuses on establishing common protocols and a Unified Command System to improve response efficiency and protect communities, forest heritage, and ecosystems.

In Chihuahua, Mexico, the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) conducted a Civil Protection drill across its medical, hospital, administrative, and social units. The exercise aimed to strengthen risk mitigation strategies and ensure personnel are trained to handle contingencies such as fires, in accordance with institutional protection programs.
