Orihuela's Town Hall unveiled a new computer system called GES Alert Orihuela to improve emergency response coordination, particularly during the rainy season. Developed by the town hall's IT department alongside the emergency services team, the system consolidates information to enable officials to track incidents and collaborate effectively.
At a recent CECOPAL meeting chaired by Mayor Pepe Vegara and councillor Víctor Valverde, the council discussed the system and its potential uses. Valverde assured there was no active emergency at the time, emphasizing the importance of regular rehearsals to prepare everyone for real emergencies. The council uses the SMS alert system, demonstrated during the meeting, to test the activation process.
The GES Alert Orihuela system is currently in testing, with plans to employ it for municipal emergencies once verified. If needed, it could also support regional government-led responses. The council aims to gather feedback from participating agencies and conduct further exercises before the year's end, including a test using the new tool.
