The executive director of Civil Defense, Major General Luis Antonio Luna Paulino urges those going on vacation this Easter Week to take extra care.
He said that 4,000-5,000 volunteers would be working from Thursday lunchtime to Sunday evening at 1,500 assistance points set up where the biggest crowds are expected.
He was speaking at the launch of a campaign to prevent road traffic accidents and promote the responsible drinking of alcohol, called “Join in the promise: If you drink you don’t drive”, sponsored by United Brands and Diageo Dominicana.
Ana Sofia Arias, head of social responsibility for United Brands, said that flyers would be handed out at the Civil Defense posts around the country as well as at the tollbooths on the Las Americas highway, Duarte highway and November 6 highway.
