An 'ECUADOR EMERGENCY' COMMUNICATION: Greetings, fellow Ecuador citizens and residents. Regarding the #ECUADOR #NationWide 8 hr scheduled blackout from 10pm to 06am coming our way in 48 hours this Wednesday night 18SEP24-
🔌 (and for subsequent blackouts to follow)💡 if you or your Apt Building don’t have an electric generator available, then here are a few things to consider to lessen the impact:
A.- Make sure to gas up your car and charge up all your electronic devices before 18:00 for next morning. ⛽️
B.- Also freeze up a few water bottles, and put them in the fridge, (at least two in each shelf}, to keep it cold. And don’t keep opening the fridge door to look at what’s inside.
C.- If your kitchen is all electric, you might want to get a small gas stove to heat stuff up.
D.- Security-wise, be on the alert as some criminals might take🥷🏻 advantage that the alarms and electric fences will not be operational. E.- Test and make sure that your flash lights have fresh working batteries.🔦🪫🔋
Also It is highly recommended to take all necessary security measures for your safety and of your family and also of your business premises.
1.- Stay inside your houses with all the security measures in place, do not leave anything outside that brings attention and is within reach of thieves.
2.- Probably there will be no digital cell communications as the repeater antennas will be inoperative.📲
3.- Keep your cell phone fully charged so that the flashlight will work if you do not have a dedicated flashlight.📱
4.- Have flashlights with fresh batteries, candles and matches, in case you need them inside the house,🔦
5.- Businesses have to set up all possible security measures also.📏
6.- Everyone should have alarm whistles, for emergencies, and blow the whistle repeatedly and the neighbors should do the same, since the regular alarms will not be working.🎺
7.- If you hear strange noises and movements, make noise, beep, whistle and use your cell phones to record a video, as there will be no cameras.📹
8.- Have your house keys on hand ready for any emergency, so you can lock/open the doors, (including in case of an earthquake.)🔑🗝
9.- Disconnect all the electrical appliances you can, to avoid damage when the power surge comes back on.
10.- Do not open the door of the refrigerator unncesssarily, to maintan the cold temperature and avoid damaging the food.🥩🦪🍤
11.- Stay calm and make the most appropriate decisions in case of an emergency situation.
12.- Everything you can set up for security and safety in each home is important and necessary. Talk to your neighbors to help each other out and have a plan. 🏡🏘🏠🛖
13.- Have fully charged fire extinguishers handy in case some of your family or neighbors have an accident with matches candles, gas stoves etc etc
14.- If your vehicle has an alarm, you can activate it with your key fob in case of an emergency.
Have the remote control handy.🚗
15.- Check that everything is ok when it is daytime the morning of THU 19SEPT and the power comes back on. 🔌 Then wait for half an hour or thereabouts, and then reconnect the electrical appliances only after once the power supply has stabilized, 📊
📈since voltage variations can fluctuate wildly when the power returns after a long outage such as this, 📉that can affect your sensitive electronics and fuse panel, as they can be blown out by the surge. ⚡️(not the purge:)🦹🏻♂️
16.- "The Government has declared A 'STATE OF EXCEPTION (#ToqueDeQueda) a nationwide blackout on Wednesday night 22:00pm until Thursday morning 06:00am,
(So Stay home and off of the Streets) as announced by the Minister of the Interior, Monica Palencia. More than 70 thousand uniformed services personnel will be mobilized." More details ▶️ https://bit.ly/3TwJtW5

MON 06OCT25 #ParoDay15#Ecuador #ParoNacional2025 #PUYO The community of Puyo, today marched against the government of Daniel Noboa. Strong repression and arrogance of the authorities is causing more and more sectors to join the National Unemployment protests. Today marks 15 days of protests." -
SUN 05OCT25 (11:03) #ParoDay14 #Quito #Ecuador Pres Noboa: "No one can come and take by force the capital of all Ecuadorians.
To those who choose violence, the law awaits them. To those who act like criminals, they will be treated as criminals.
We continue doing what is our duty: we will be in Pastaza tomorrow, together with those who truly build the country, helping those who need it most to produce more and get ahead." - (1/2)
"While some want to stop Ecuador, we propel it forward.
We will reduce the VAT to 8% during the holidays of October 9, and November 2 and 3, because this country is not going to grind to a halt because of a few who lost the business of smuggling and illegal mining.
To boost the local economy, on November 14 we will pay the thirteenth salary to public employees,
so families will have more money during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We invite the private sector to join this initiative." - (2/2)
