Sinaproc had issued a notice of 96 hours of heavy rains with associated risks of flash flooding and landslides lasting through Sunday. Donderis is particularly upset at the irresponsibility of “trained” people offering tours that don’t safeguard the lives of their clients or respect the rescuers who must risk theirs. He said on Sunday, May 27: “ 48 hours ago we warned about the increase in rainfall and asked people to take preventive actions. At this moment we have activated the rescue team of the #FTChelp to find five tourists with a “guide” with problems on the Barú mountain. They deserve responsibility and respect. http://www.newsroompanama.com/news/panama/irresponsibility-knocked-as-tourist-search-begins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
