In an effort to strengthen prevention measures and support the local restaurant industry, Secretary of Economic Development and Tourism Irán Leonardo Verdugo announced an outreach program aimed at helping restaurants comply with Civil Protection and Fire Department regulations.

The initiative follows a recent incident at Restaurante La Estancia and includes coordination with CANIRAC Rosarito to carry out visits and evaluate the status of establishments’ internal Civil Protection programs.

The official explained that, under the direction of Mayor Rocío Adame, the priority is to work proactively to prevent emergencies while also supporting the city’s productive sectors.

Support visits

As part of this effort, inspection and advisory visits will be conducted at restaurants affiliated with the Cámara Nacional de la Industria de Restaurantes y Alimentos Condimentados in Rosarito. The goal is to identify areas where businesses may face challenges in meeting regulatory requirements and to provide technical guidance.

“We will act as a liaison with the companies that develop these Civil Protection programs so restaurant owners can meet their internal requirements,” Verdugo said.

He added that the same outreach and advisory approach will be extended to the manufacturing and industrial sectors to support compliance with current regulations.

In addition to ongoing training, CANIRAC members have access to benefits such as fire insurance and coverage for other contingencies.

“What we are seeking through this agenda and these working groups is to help investors and restaurant owners remain in full regulatory compliance while also being prepared to respond to any emergency,” he concluded.
