In Iquique, Mayor Mauricio Soria Macchiavello and regional health secretary Ximena Muñoz Urbina inspected a municipal building intended to serve as an emergency situation room. The facility is located in the city center, away from high-risk zones, and features independent water and electricity supplies. 

The initiative aims to establish a collaboration agreement that allows health teams to operate from the space if their primary facilities are compromised by disasters, such as the severe weather events recently seen in Atacama and Coquimbo. Formal documentation is being processed to ensure the health sector can maintain community health during emergencies.
