Project name:
AES support for relief agencies

Colombia

Natural disasters
Over time, AES Colombia has supported the relief agencies in the surrounding area to ensure that they are well trained and prepared for any situation that presents risks.
In 2019, the Volunteer Fire Department of Santa María received contributions for COP $50 million to make adaptations to the infrastructure of the fire station and to invest in training for work at height.
To strengthen the response to fires, AES Colombia also started the process to donate a vehicle to the Santa María Fire Department. The vehicle is from Central Chivor and capable of transporting water and fighting small fires.
