Doctors Abel Centella and
Arnoldo Bezanilla, of the Cuban Meteorology Institute (INSMET),
will arrive in Managua on Monday to train Nicaraguan
colleagues working on more effective forecasts, the Prensa
Latina news agency reported.
According to the INETER,
Centella and Bezanilla, specialists in Climate Models and
Climate Changes, will carry out, along with the Nicaraguans,
exercises aimed at defining immediate scenes, the
www.lavozdelsandinismo.com Web site reported.
These exchanges –which will take place until February 25-,
will allow for the training of scientists of the Central
American nation in the construction of scenes with the
PRECIS Regional Climate Model, in order to carry out
assessments and forecasts in a more detailed scale.
In statements to the local television channel four, Castro
pointed put that his country should get ready for a more
active rainy season in 2012, and recalled that Managua,
where over 40 percent of the country’s population lives, has
a high degree of vulnerability, since only one hour of heavy
rain can cause severe damage.
In this regard, the INETER director praised the proven
capacity of the National System for the Prevention,
Mitigation and Attention of Disasters and of the Civil
Defense, as well as of prevention plans in Nicaraguan
communities.
