ACAPULCO, Guerrero(SUN)La Dirección de Protección Civil hará una campaña en escuelas para pedir a los alumnos que no salgan en las primeras precipitaciones de la temporada, a raíz de la crisis nuclear en Japón.

El director de Protección Civil Municipal de Acapulco, Guerrero, Melquiades Olmedo Montes, anunció que se iniciará una campaña en escuelas para alertar a los alumnos para que no salgan durante las primeras lluvias de la temporada por los metales pesados que se encuentran en la atmósfera, debido a la radiación procedente de la central nuclear japonesa Fukushima, dañada por el terremoto y tsunami del 11 de marzo.

Explicó que la nube radioactiva podría afectar la zona. Subrayó que en este momento la parte más sensible es la de Alaska y el norte de los Estados Unidos, pero "probablemente nosotros también tengamos aquí algo por lo de las corrientes".

Olmedo Montes recomendó usar paraguas e impermeables durante las primeras lluvias de la temporada.

3. :(

*sigh* This is why people need to know the truth. Let the people/parents make an informed decision as to how THEY choose to deal with this. IF "I" had read this article last week, I wouldn't have let my child play in the rain. Just to be safe.
