For their part, the teams involved in the operation amount to almost 800 security and emergency personnel from different institutions of the Town Halls, Island Councils, the Government of the Canary Islands and the Government of Spain, in addition to volunteering.
Similarly, there is
a perimeter of exclusion by sea
, from the south by Punta del Pozo (Puerto Naos), to the north by Las Viñas beach (Tazacorte), and parallel to the coast, two nautical miles from the littoral, established by the Maritime Captaincy.
In addition, Enaire has established
two restricted areas of airspace
in the municipalities of El Paso and Los Llanos de Aridane, temporarily until the end of the emergency, in the area of the sea and land below 3,000 feet, to which only State security forces and bodies, emergency services, State aircraft and those duly authorized may enter, which does not affect commercial aviation, which does not fly over these two restricted areas.
