The technical director of the pevolca, Miguel Ángel Morcuende, pointed out in his appearance of this Wednesday that the Old Summit Volcano has entered an area of "Mini Stability" that is not known how much it will last and although it is "quite explosive", the Lava castings have slowed down and move very slowly, four kilometers per hour.

The Palma Police has reported several media that drones with thermal cameras to persecute people who are taking advantage of the evacuation of houses threatened by the volcano to steal inside.

These thieves are taking advantage of the owners had to go out in a hurry before the arrival of lava without practically nothing, time taken for the pillage.

Thenotaries of the Canary Islands are added to the wave of solidarity with those affected by the eruption, as before the Canaria press, Alfonso Cavallé, Natural de los Llanos de Aridane.

His contribution, which will be fundamental when the eruptive phase ends, will consist of auxiliary for free to residents who have lost all with the inexorable lava pouring and, for different reasons, had not made the corresponding deed of their properties, something that, Unfortunately, it is common in agricultural areas like the one that concerns us. From the transcendental importance of the matter, it realizes the fact that, without this deed, it would be impossible to perceive public aid promised by the different administrations.

For this, explains Cavalé, it is necessary to resort to the so-called "minutes of notoriety and other legal instruments", given that they will serve to justify legal situations from which rights can be generated "such as receiving such aid.

That your home has been devoured by the lava of a volcano and with it your memories, your family photos, your documents and your most personal objects supposes a personal drama but also, warn experts in psychology and psychiatry, generates a post-traumatic stress that can Leave trace for many years.

He explains to Efe Rafael Santandreu's clinical psychologist, whoever warns natural adversities such as tsunamis, earthquakes, torrential rains or volcanic eruptions such as the palm, cause post-traumatic stress and leave for years of anxiety, panic attacks and depression high school.

Santandreu, Exproofesor of Ramón Lluch University, in Barcelona, details that post-traumatic stress for a natural catastrophe behaves worse than in other cases, as robbing or even warlike conflicts, since it drags the idea that the individual is totally helpless before any Natural phenomenon and generates a permanent alert state and anxiety before minor issues.

And he warns that this state of alert maintained at time ends up deriving in depression and can become totally invalidating for the person who suffers it.

Santandreu, author of the book 'without fear', insists that evacuees should not "keep trauma or try to avoid it" because doing so worsens the disorder and "creates a ghost of incredible dimensions" that, finally, carries serious long-term consequences.

And advises the evacuees and affected by the volcano de la Palma to resort to psychologists. "The scare for a natural fact is greater because it is atavically a special fear, and if nature fails you generates uncontrolled terror," he warns.

What can happen with that rain of ash that falls from the sky? What damages can produce and who can be their victims? The answer is all: both people and animals, both crops and machines. Not only lava causes irreversible damage: eye with the ash, which "is not turkey mucus". A progress: You can even pull down airplanes.

"For the human being it can be a serious health problem, because this dust people end up eating it even if they do not realize, and can cause them throat problems and a very important toxicity," explains the vulcanologist José Luis Barrera, Professional of header of the college of geologists.

"This ash is made of silicates, iron and magnesium, is actually magma from the volcano that becomes, in contact with cold air, as it is called volcanic glass, which is not as if people eat bread grated, but A quite dangerous thing ", the vulcanologist explodes.

"To protect yourself from that, you have to put on a mask, and also cover as much as possible, which can also suffer when entering these silicates, which are very toxic to the human body," shelter.

Sareb, the Spanish Association of Banking (AEB), ECSC and the National Union of Credit Cooperatives (UNACC) have made available to those affected by the eruption of the volcano in La Palma, "for free and as long as necessary," the Homes that currently have available in conditions of habitability on the island and in other nearby areas.

In a statement, the associated financial entities have explained that thereby intend to contribute, together with the administrations and the rest of the institutions, "to the temporary real one of the evicted people".

"With this commitment, financial institutions are joined by the effort that is being made from civil society and public administrations to meet the needs of the families and neighbors of the Palma affected by these serious circumstances with the available means at its scope", They have indicated.

Now, entities are identifying "the number of homes that meet these requirements to be able to make them available in the shortest possible time".

"How much time could last the current volcanic eruption on the old summit? It is a very assiduous question that they ask us," said the Canary Islands Volcanological Institute on their Facebook account yesterday. "Using the data we know about the duration of historical eruptions occurred on the island of La Palma, a possible answer to this easy question could be obtained," the scientific organization continued.

"Therefore, it would be acceptable to convey that we move in the range of a duration between 24 and 84 days, with a geometric average of the agenda of 55 days," he concluded Involcan in his response to such a pressing question as, Actually, impossible to answer with certainty. What is clear is that we do not find ourselves before a punctual emergency, nor do we know if the worst has already happened.

The estimate is based on the previous eruptions documented on the island of La Palma. The first one whose duration there is constancy is also the longest: the explosion of Tehuya, in 1585, which lasted for 84 days. The most recent, Teneguía in 1971, lasted 24 days and is the shortest one that is remembered.

The kings are going to visit the island of La Palma on Thursday to move their support and solidarity to the people who have been affected by the eruption of the Summit Volcano trip after the lava has devastated their homes or threaten to do so.

Don Felipe and Doña Letizia will be accompanied by the president of the government, Pedro Sánchez, who returns to the island after flying directly from New York, where he has intervened at the General Assembly of United Nations.

The visit will begin at noon in the aquacodes the fort, in the town of Breña Baja, where more than a hundred of around 5,500 people evacuated have been rejoiced.

The lava of the Volcano Old Summit in La Palma has lost speed this Wednesday but progressed without brake, multiplying the havoc at its path before the impotence of the neighbors.

The lava "has slowed down but continues its inexorable path," said Angel Víctor Torres, Regional President of the Canary Islands, advising neighbors not to try anything against it and avoid maneuvers that endanger them.

"Faced with the advance of the lava, which has enough height, nothing can be done," he admitted. "Neither a barricade, nor a ditch, nor a parapet stop in any way the advance of lava. I hope it is, but it is, it is impossible."

The eruption, which began on Sunday, razed 154 hectares and destroyed 320 buildings, reported on Wednesday the European Copernicus geospatial measurement system, in a remarkable increase with respect to its previous data.

The arrival of lava to the sea awakens fear for the reactions it causes, and had been discontinued. However, it is no longer safe because the decrease in magma has been losing speed.

"La Coladas advance very slowly, 12 meters have advanced in 12 hours," said the regional president.

The entrance into the sea of lava of the Palma volcano will cause a "spectacular and dense" vertical cloud of water vapor that will not be toxic, but that will force the perimeter of security, evacuate the area and prohibit navigation, according to The Vice-Rector of the Geominero Institute of Spain (IGME), Luis Somoza.

In statements to EFE, this scientist has described as "spectacular phenomenon" the entrance of lava in the Atlantic Ocean and has said that the dimensions of the vertical vapor cloud that will cause will depend on the "fall front" and the width of each wash.

In any case, Somoza has ensured that the water vapor cloud is safe for health, although it will carry some particle of the toxic gases that emanate from the volcano but, has insisted that its concentration is foreseen so low that it is not Dangerous for living beings.

What he has warned is that the water on the west coast of the palm affected by the eruption will become more cloudy because lava ash, by coming into contact with marine water, generate glazed particles that cause "a pen of segment "that floats in the sea and remains transparency.

Another consequences of the arrival of lava to the sea, has added this expert, is the rise in the water temperature in the entrance area of the cast, a phenomenon that, as reported, will have an impact on the marine ecosystem of the area And above all, he will harm fishing.

Somoza has added, however, that the fishing activity will take to recover "about six months", as it has said that it happened on the island of El Iron when in October 2011 the volcano Teneguía entered eruption in the middle of the sea and fishing He saw affected for some time.
