A 49-year-old woman had to be rescued by Emerlan volunteers after suffering a fall on Salao beach, in La Graciosa. The members of the NGO came after the alert activated by the CECOES, around 5:00 p.m. last Sunday.

As explained by Emerla, the woman could not move after the fall, so the volunteers of the NGO needed a stretcher to be able to evacuate her to the health center of the eighth island, supported by the people who were in the place.

Once there, the medical services determined that she had to be sent to the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital of Arrecife, so they activated the evacuation protocol via maritime.
