Ponta Grossa opens first Municipal Traffic Week with multi-victim accident simulation
Ponta Grossa will have a multi-victim accident simulation on Monday (16) next to the Central Terminal. The event will be open to the public.
The Prefeitura de Ponta Grossa, through the Municipal Secretariat of Citizenship and Public Security, the Traffic Superintendence and the Municipal Secretariat of Health, promotes the I Municipal Week of Traffic. As part of the programming, a simulated multi-victim traffic accident attendance will be held on Monday (16) at 4 pm, next to the Terminal Central. The action aims to demonstrate the procedures for responding to emergency situations, highlighting the importance of the integrated action of service teams and awareness about road safety.
The activity aims to demonstrate, in practice, how the different organs involved in attending to large occurrences work, from the isolation of the area and the organization of traffic to the rescue, screening and referral of victims. The scenario will simulate a collision involving vehicles and pedestrians, with different levels of severity, requiring the mobilization of safety, rescue and health teams, including aeromedical care.
The prefeita Elizabeth Schmidt highlights the importance of the initiative to strengthen awareness and road safety in the municipality. “Traffic safety is also a collective responsibility. With the first Municipal Transit Week, we want to increase the awareness of the population and demonstrate the importance of integrated work among public bodies. Our commitment is to invest in actions that preserve lives and contribute to a safer city,” he says.
For the municipal secretary of Citizenship and Public Security, Guilherme Rangel, the initiative also allows to improve the preparation of the teams. “The integration between security forces and the response services is fundamental so that we can respond with agility and efficiency to emergency situations. The simulated allows to test procedures, identify opportunities for improvement and strengthen the capacity to act jointly for the benefit of the population."
The superintendent of Traffic, João Rodrigo Pontes, emphasizes that the action also contributes to bring the community closer to the activities of education and road safety. “In addition to demonstrating how care works in a large-scale occurrence, we want to draw attention to the importance of prevention and respect for traffic rules. Every responsible attitude can make a difference and help prevent accidents.”
