The Department of Environment of the Moralzarzal City Council has launched an intensive campaign to clear vegetation throughout the municipality, aiming to prevent fires, enhance road safety, and improve public health.

The Department of Environment, Roads, and Services of the Moralzarzal City Council is carrying out an extensive vegetation clearing and cleaning campaign that covers the entire municipal area. These operations, strategically planned for this time of year, are essential for the proper maintenance of the environment and the well-being of residents.
The work is focused on cleaning roads, public plots, and perimeter areas. Concurrently, private landowners are reminded of their legal obligation to keep their properties clean, a crucial measure for collective safety.
The clearing of municipal plots, ditches, and green spaces goes beyond mere aesthetics; it is a priority safety measure with multiple benefits:
Fire Prevention: With the arrival of high temperatures, dry vegetation becomes highly combustible. Eliminating grass and undergrowth in perimeter and urban areas is the most effective tool to prevent fire propagation and protect homes.
Road Safety: Clearing the margins of roads and highways significantly improves driver visibility on curves and intersections, reducing the risk of accidents. It also clears sidewalks, facilitating safe passage for pedestrians.
Public Health: The accumulation of uncontrolled undergrowth encourages the proliferation of insect pests, rodents, and other vectors that can pose a public health problem. Periodic cleaning disrupts these sources of unsanitary conditions.
The Department of Environment reiterates to all owners of private land and plots within the municipality their legal duty to maintain their properties clean, cleared, and in optimal conditions of safety and sanitation. The neglect of a private plot not only affects the neighborhood's appearance but also directly risks adjacent homes in case of fire or pest infestation, making responsible action by owners imperative.
