🚨 *OBAVIJEST GRAĐANIMA*
Nakon višesatne borbe s požarom koji je izbio danas poslijepodne, pred vatrogascima i svim žurnim službama je zahtjevna i neizvjesna noć. Tijekom cijele noći dežurat će na terenu te ulagati maksimalne napore kako bi požar zadržali pod kontrolom i spriječili njegovo daljnje širenje. Zbog velike opožarene površine stanje i dalje zahtijeva izniman oprez i stalan nadzor.
U Općini Blato večeras je održan sastanak Kriznog stožera na kojem su sudjelovali ministar prostornoga uređenja, graditeljstva i državne imovine Branko Bačić, glavni vatrogasni zapovjednik Stjepan Simović, vatrogasni zapovjednici, načelnici općina Blato i Smokvica, predsjednica Općinskog vijeća Općine Blato, načelnik Stožera civilne zaštite, predstavnici Hrvatske gorske službe spašavanja (HGSS) i Hrvatskog Crvenog križa – Gradskog društva Crvenog križa Korčula. Na sastanku je analizirano stanje na požarištu te su dogovoreni daljnji koraci i aktivnosti koje će se provoditi tijekom noći i u narednim satima s ciljem zadržavanja požara pod kontrolom te zaštite ljudi, imovine i prirode.
Molimo sve građane da:
* ne prilaze ugroženim područjima i ne ometaju rad vatrogasaca i ostalih žurnih službi,
* poštuju upute nadležnih službi,
* ne šire neprovjerene informacije te da se o stanju informiraju isključivo putem službenih kanala.
Još jednom upućujemo iskrenu zahvalnost svim vatrogascima, pripadnicima Civilne zaštite, policiji, HGSS-u, Hrvatskom Crvenom križu te svim ostalim službama i volonterima koji svojim predanim, hrabrim i nesebičnim radom štite živote, imovinu i prirodu.
O svim daljnjim okolnostima i razvoju situacije javnost ćemo pravovremeno obavještavati.
