Claro Colombia has announced that it is undertaking efforts to strengthen and broaden its coverage in the areas surrounding the Nevado del Ruiz Volcano, which is located in three municipalities in Caldas.
Additionally, the company has been working in collaboration with the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and local authorities to support contingency plans that ensure the continuity of communication services.
The network expansion work carried out by the company seeks to ensure that the inhabitants of parts of Manizales, Chinchiná and Palestina can keep in touch with the authorities and their families at any time, in addition to providing early warnings of emergencies.
Diego Marín, Regional Director of Claro Colombia, said: “At Claro we are working with local authorities and the national government to guarantee the provision of a stable service in the department and in the surrounding areas of the Nevado del Ruíz Volcano.
“We have developed an emergency and disaster plan that will attend to any situation that may affect the service, and within the actions the expansion of coverage is being carried out, which will be implemented in the coming weeks.”
Claro has expanded its coverage in 24 rural sectors of Caldas and 17 in Risaralda, in addition to the work carried out in 13 rural areas of Tolima.
