Central America Ends Emergency
Drills
Firemen from Honduras, Nicaragua
and El Salvador concluded
natural disaster drills at the
Gulf of Fonseca.
Cuerpo de Bomberos de Choluteca
(south Honduras) said the drill
relied on an alleged eruption of
Cosiguina volcano, in Nicaragua,
as source of a seaquake and
deadly water walls on the coasts
of the region.
Honduran rescue workers would
have to seek support from
colleagues of Nicaragua and El
Salvador to deal with the tremor
and floods and aerosol emissions
would block the son in 93.20 sq.
miles.
The drills are part of the
cooperation among firemen from
the countries with coast on the
Gulf, an area of frequent
tremors and strong waves that
hit the coastal population.
Cosiguina had its most violent
eruption in recent history in
1835. The ashes, that covered a
radio of 869.91 miles, reached
Mexico, and the lava made some
small islands in the Gulf.
