The Latest Family Adventure; Ensa, Power Outages in Colón and San Miguelito; Minsa Opens Vaccination Center at Parque Omar; Panama and the Region Assess Response Capacity to Risks; Property Highlights; Some Pictures of our Vacation.

Friday, June 16, 2023

Never has the world experienced such a compelling personality dreamt of or divined, as that of my Queen, Sayira.  Always at the ready for the latest family adventure, always thinking ahead to our internal mini-celebrations and always happy to make us happy, she truly is the spark that keeps our family alive.

Last week, we all went on a quick adventure to my home state of Wisconsin.  Well, first we stopped off at Chicago to visit the Field Museum, swim in sprinkles at the Museum of Ice Cream, eat deep dish pizza, watch the Taylor Swift concert from the rooftop of a neighboring building, watch the Navey Pier fireworks and go around their Ferris wheel, and get bludgeoned with insults at the Weiner Circle.  Young Brandon was flipped off by one of the cute waitresses too, and all he did was say thanks for the hot dog… …check out the video: 

Then it was on the Sparta-Elroy trail.  I’ve found that maps don’t really give you the proper feel of distance; you truly need to ride the trail to understand what 20 miles is really like on a bicycle.  The trail used to be a train path that passed through 3 tunnels.  They decommissioned the trains and removed the tracks years ago, opening the possibility of locals and travelers an experience like no other.  The temperature of the tunnels drops so drastically, that you can feel the cold from them at least 200 yards before arriving.  The water filtrating through created these massive stalactites that need to be removed every now and again and the walls look and feel like slick marble.  It’s cold enough to where you see your breath and the drops of “rain” cause chills on contact with exposed skin.

The next three days weren’t the greatest though as all of us got sick with the flu.  First me, then Brandon, Sayira and Brett Jr in that order seemingly each within 12 hours of the other.  I won’t go into the details, but if you’ve ever heard of Montezuma’s Revenge, all I can say is that he’s a worthy foe who I never want to meet up with again.

On our way back we took in a Brewer’s game.  They lost to the seemingly paltry Oakland A’s 2-1 in overtime, but the game was still filled with excitement and a few amazing plays by both teams.

But alas, it was time to return.  I think the only thing I don’t like about coming back to Panama is that gust of hot air we get coming off the plane while still on the tarmac.  Wow, it gets hot out there, eh?

WORLD BLOOD DONOR DAY: LEARN WHICH BLOOD TYPES ARE MOST NEEDED

World Blood Donor Day.

Every June 14th, World Blood Donor Day is celebrated to express gratitude to all individuals who voluntarily donate blood and help save lives. It also aims to promote better measures to ensure universal access to safe blood transfusions.

In Panama, Elvin López has become one of these heroes since he made the decision to become a voluntary blood donor in 2001. Undoubtedly, the countless lives he has managed to save are remarkable.

I come every four months to donate and do it to help those in need. Additionally, they conduct blood tests here that allow me to know about my health,” shared López, who currently works at the Panama Canal Authority (ACP).

During the months of April and May of this year, there was a slight increase in the number of donors, surpassing a thousand people.

Despite these figures, it is never enough, and this is a practice that should be encouraged, considering that blood is the only medicine that cannot be manufactured,” emphasized Arthur Bradley, the medical technologist in charge of the Blood Donation Center at the Social Security Fund (CSS).

Bradley added that the most required blood type is O+, while O- and AB- are the most difficult to obtain.

Requirements

According to the Social Security Fund (CSS), the main requirements to be a blood donor are:

  • Being in good health
  • Being between 18 and 65 years old
  • Having the time and willingness to donate blood

This process takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes and can be done at two centers of the institution located at:

  1. Via Ricardo J. Alfaro, above NiKo’s Café, from Monday to Sunday from 7:00 am to 2:00 pm, including national holidays.
  2. “Dr. Arnulfo Arias Madrid” Hospital Complex, located on Via Transístmica, with operating hours from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday to Friday.

CUSTOMS INFORMS TRANSPORTERS OF RULES FOR ENTERING EL SALVADOR

Customs.

The National Customs Authority informs international land freight transporters that starting from Saturday, July 17, every cargo unit entering El Salvador will be required to have a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag, which has three designated placement points in Panama.

Customs: Placement points for labels in Panama

  • Curundú in the former Customs headquarters.
  • Regional administration of the Central and Azuero Zone located in Divisa.
  • Paso Canoas.

What are radio frequency tags?

Radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags are intelligent tags that store data to be transmitted via radiofrequency to RFID readers or antennas. The tags, also known as Smart Labels, are responsible for communicating with scanners to identify the history of a product.

This innovative technology enables the streamlining of management and inventory processes, as well as the prompt entry and exit of goods from one location to another.

WHAT WILL BE THE MISSION OF THE FIRST PANAMANIAN SATELLITE?

The Pansat mission marks a milestone for Panamanian space sciences.

Panama took a significant step in space exploration on Thursday with the presentation of the Pansat mission, corresponding to the satellite project “CubeSat Panama.”

The launch marks a milestone in the country’s scientific and technological advancement, aiming to promote innovation, provide practical experience, contribute to the global space community, and inspire the next generation of Panamanian scientists and engineers.

Rodney Delgado, a researcher at the Technological University of Panama, recalls that Panama has been involved in space sciences since 2011, starting with the Astronomical Observatory.

According to Delgado, after completing some international procedures, the satellite design was initiated in March 2023 with the support of different institutions such as Senacyt, Ifarhu, the Italo-Latin American Institute, and AIG.

The expectation is to launch the satellite in the year 2025. Delgado emphasized that satellite technology is not developed overnight.

It requires a lot of work and analysis to build a satellite that can reach an orbit at an altitude of 500 kilometers. Once this goal is achieved, the satellite will orbit the Earth and provide scientific data.

One of the payloads it will carry is an automatic vessel detection system. The idea is to know the location of different vessels, assisting in maritime traffic. Maritime affairs are very important to us,” he highlighted.

Other countries in the region, such as Costa Rica and Guatemala, are a step ahead, having already launched satellites.

On the other hand, Margelia Palacios, Director of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, emphasized the importance of international cooperation in this process and the trust built between national stakeholders and international partners.

This miniature satellite is an ultra-compact and standardized platform, measuring only 10 centimeters on each side, and is equipped with scientific instruments to facilitate various research missions and technological experiments. It allows researchers and engineers to validate new systems, components, and software algorithms in the harsh space environment.

UNDERWATER SAND EXTRACTION REJECTED IN COLÓN

The extraction of underwater sand in Colón has been rejected.

The Chamber of Commerce of the province of Colón has expressed its rejection of a project for the extraction of underwater sand, which would affect coastal communities. The complaints filed by environmental groups on the coasts of the community of Cacique in the district of Portobelo, in front of the Portobelo National Park, a protected area, have raised concerns among the community as it could have a negative impact on the area.

The groups reject the possibility of carrying out the sand extraction project in an area that was declared a World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980.

There are 3 concession requests that aim to extract 14 million cubic meters of underwater sand (enough to fill 5,600 Olympic swimming pools). These 3 requests for underwater sand extraction are extremely close to the boundary of the Portobelo National Park, within its buffer zone.

Areas in Colón where they perform sand extraction

The first one is located directly on the boundary of the Protected Area, and the second and third are 1,500 meters away from the border. The combined area of the three concessions is 1,418 hectares of seabed.

The revised Environmental Impact Assessment (DEIA-II-M-102-2023, p. 137) acknowledges an alteration of the seabed but does not consider the direct, indirect, and synergistic impacts on the nearby beaches and coral reefs, all of which are within the Portobelo National Park,” stated the executives of the National Association for Nature Conservation.

The complaints focus on the serious damage to the ecosystem due to alterations in the seabed, water contamination from hydrocarbon leaks, and displacement of fauna, which all seem to be ignored.

The community in Colón sees the sand extraction as a danger and emphasizes that there is an international community that currently sees a World Cultural Heritage Site declared by UNESCO in 1980 at risk.

MINSA OPENS VACCINATION CENTER IN PARQUE OMAR

MINSA opens vaccination center in Parque Omar.

The Ministry of Health (MINSA) announced that from June 16th to Saturday, June 17th, they will open a Vaccination Center in Parque Recreativo Omar from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. They will be attending to adults, pregnant women, and children aged 6 months and older.

There will be two locations for the vaccination center. The Domo will serve the general public, while the clubhouse will be designated for Express vaccination, specifically catering to individuals with reduced mobility.

Vaccines available at the Center

  • Influenza
  • Bivalent (COVID-19)
  • Pneumococcus

New batch of bivalent COVID-19 vaccine

This new batch of vaccines, which arrived in Panamanian territory on Wednesday, June 14th, will be distributed as follows: 30,240 doses for individuals aged 12 and older; 18,000 for children aged 5 to 11, and 6,000 for infants aged 6 months to 4 years.

PANAMA AND THE REGION MEASURE RISK RESPONSE CAPACITY

Regional Disaster Response and Humanitarian Assistance Simulation, the first one for the country.

With at least one year of preparation in advance, emergency, security, and health teams from Panama and the region began on Tuesday, June 13, the III Regional Disaster Response and Humanitarian Assistance Simulation, the first one for the country.

The exercise aims to measure the response capacity of different emergency and rescue agencies in events such as a 7.5 earthquake on the Pedro Miguel Fault and Azuero Fault, oil spill, gas leak, structural fire, tropical wave, and other types of evacuations.

Several scenarios will be simulated, including earthquakes, collapsed structures, structural fires, oil spills, cyberattacks, and biological hazards. It was emphasized that this is only a practical exercise and not a real situation.

Specialized Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) teams from countries in the region will provide technical, logistical, and coordination support during 36 continuous and uninterrupted hours of work. They must be self-sufficient with specialized members from the five components: planning, search and rescue, administration, logistics, and medical.

All Central American countries, the Dominican Republic, Canada, Mexico, the United States, Argentina, Israel, and Japan are participating. Other countries will join virtually, as this activity is supported by the United Nations, PAHO, NASA, NOAA, among others.

Kasim Portugal, Head of the Emergency Department at the Ministry of Health (MINSA), highlighted the participation of the health team in this type of training exercise. Portugal clarified that it is a controlled situation and within established healthcare facilities, a simulation will be conducted in the administrative area without disrupting patient care.

At the epicenter of the event in the Amador area, national emergency medical teams are established. They are modules that function as temporary healthcare facilities, with a team composed of laboratory technicians, biomedical personnel, manual equipment, maintenance equipment, among others, which are part of the healthcare provision, explained Portugal.

This is the III Regional Disaster Response and Humanitarian Assistance Simulation, but the first one for multiple threats, which allows Panama to evaluate its emergency plans, coordination with international organizations, search and response capabilities, as well as other emergency services, detailed Lieutenant Colonel Ángel Delgado of the Panama Fire Department.

Continuous training is essential to identify capacities, strengths, and weaknesses so that the country can strengthen its team and provide assistance at a national and international level, said Delgado.

More than 600 units of the Panama Fire Department have been segregated from regular service nationwide, with 271 units in the capital city participating in different scenarios.

These units will participate in the simulation of an oil spill at a company under the Las Américas Bridge, with international observers and advice to verify the response capacity in such situations, as well as rapid coordination with the Panama Maritime Authority and other agencies with the guidance of the Panama Canal.

This is a simulated national-level situation aimed at having a prepared population in case of real events.

TROPICAL WAVE: 8 PREVENTIVE MEASURES YOU SHOULD TAKE

Tropical Wave: 8 preventive measures you should take.

With the arrival of the rainy season, it is important for you as a citizen to be prepared for the occurrence of natural events such as a tropical wave. Therefore, there are several preventive measures you can take to ensure your safety.

Here are some important steps to follow in case of an alert or emergency due to natural disasters caused by rainfall.

Stay informed: Follow weather updates and listen to local news or weather reports to get the latest information about the tropical wave. Pay attention to any warning or alert issued by local authorities.

Furthermore, remember to create an emergency plan: Develop a family emergency plan that includes communication strategies, evacuation routes, and a designated meeting point. Ensure that all family members understand the plan and know what to do in case of an emergency.

Tropical Wave: Prevention Measures at Home

Secure your property: Eliminate any potential hazards from your surroundings. Trim tree branches, secure loose objects, and bring indoors or store any items that can be carried away by strong winds. Reinforce windows and doors, and consider installing storm shutters or using boards if necessary.

Stock up on supplies: Have an emergency backpack ready with essential supplies such as non-perishable food, drinking water, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, medications, and important documents. Make sure you have enough supplies for several days.

Plan for evacuation: If you live in a vulnerable area or if evacuation is recommended, plan your route and have alternative destinations in mind, such as staying with family or friends in a safer area or at a designated shelter. Ensure you have enough fuel in your vehicle and pack necessary items for the journey.

The importance of communication and following instructions

Communication: Keep your mobile phone charged and have a backup power source available. Share your contact information with family and friends and establish a communication plan in case of separation. Designate a contact person outside the area who can serve as a central point of communication.

Follow official instructions: Stay updated on evacuation orders or other directives from local authorities. If advised to evacuate or take specific actions, follow their instructions quickly and without hesitation.

Personal safety: Stay indoors during the storm and away from windows. If you need to go outside, use appropriate protective gear and avoid areas prone to flooding or other hazards. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads or bridges.

In Panama, a prevention advisory for the passage of Tropical Wave #5 has already been lifted. In the highlands of the Chiriquí province, hail has been reported.

This is a list of the number of cases per day since the first case was discovered in Panama

Property Highlights:

I’m adding this video and information on this wonderful home for sale, to help out Cindy and Jim Meagher.  It’s a great home in a wonderful location.  Trust me when I say, they don’t want to leave, but due to pressing situations back home in Canada, they had no other option but to return and assist family.  They’re doing what’s right; because they’re good people, and I’m more than happy to support these tough decisions.

The video is primarily in Spanish, but Cindy and Jim give their own blurb on what they loved about the property and if you take the time to watch it, I’m sure you’ll immediately want to buy it just like I did when I saw it.  Wow, what a great place and so well-maintained!

Check it out!  Their email address is jandcmeagher@gmail.com if you’re interested.
