In ground zero affected by DANA, almost no public building now fulfills the function for which it was built. The Municipal Social Welfare Building of La Tauleta, in Alfafar, today houses a food reception and delivery center, a Generalitat health post and, as of this week, a new National Police office to serve the families of the disappeared where they not only realize the need to search for their loved ones, but also receive psychological support throughout the process. Standard Related News No The bodies of the six missing people appear in Letur who were swept away by the Mariano Cebrián flood After confirmation that the body that appeared yesterday afternoon was that of Jonathan, 24 hours later the other two who were missing have been found, who still need to be identified along with the human remains found this Tuesday, although the search work is not concluded. on the boulevard Psychologists like José María Martínez, member of the Psychosocial Intervention Team (EIP) of the National Police, are in charge of providing security to those who arrive in a sea of doubts and uncertainty: «The main thing is that it be accompaniment for everything the process from the beginning. The important thing is that they do not have the feeling that everything is a disaster and they cannot do anything, but that they have come to the right place, where all the necessary procedures will be carried out and they will also be kept informed. Questionnaires and waitingOn this trip that no one would want to take, the first step is to file a complaint with the agents of the Homicide and Missing Persons group, as in any other absence that does not have to do with natural disasters like this one. «Although it will be difficult to find missing people alive, here we never talk about a corpse, but about a missing person, and everything focuses on that wait. As long as there is no body, hope or doubt would always remain,” Martínez highlights. «Another element that makes this situation even harder is the feeling of lack of coordination with which relatives come, who believe that they don’t matter to everyone. People come here angry. And then there is misinformation, which also hurts, because it ultimately makes the family member distrustful,” he points out. «Lack of coordination and misinformation harm family members. People arrive angry»The agents of the Homicide group give the relatives an initial questionnaire about the circumstances of the disappearance, the last time they saw their relative, how they contacted them, what they were wearing, whether they were at a home or not. …This, they explain, helps them narrow down the search. Then the Scientific comes into play, which focuses more on the physical characteristics of the absent person, whether they had scars, tattoos, birthmarks or moles, orthodontics… In addition, they perform a genetic analysis on the relatives (the more direct better) to later compare that DNA with that of possible mortal remains that appear. In the office there are also a couple of forensic experts who collaborate in the tasks of identifying bodies. However, they highlight that no deaths are reported in these offices. It is the court that is in charge of carrying out that task, they add. During the entire process and afterwards, the psychologists stay with them, as in any other intervention, for as long as necessary. For the moment, this National Police team recognizes, either because those affected do not know that there are new centers in the most affected towns (they have also opened another in Algemesí) or because the majority of people have already reported it, they do not have a massive influx. However, they are in charge not only of starting new searches, but also of following up on existing ones. The team psychologist, explains Martínez, is also in charge of periodically calling family members to “reduce their level of uncertainty and maintain contact.” This is essential, because with the chaos and collapse of communications that occurred in the first days after the flood, the agents collected information by telephone about missing persons who, in many cases, were not missing persons, but simply safe people who could not reach before contact with their loved ones.In addition, the members of the Psychosocial Intervention Team are also responsible for carrying out prevention activities and caring for their colleagues: caring for those they care for, another basic learning in any catastrophic situation. Most of those who have experienced all this horror, he explains, will eventually get over it, although it is normal for them to be unwell for a while. “The important thing is that people are not left alone, but that if they need it they continue to have that assistance.” Does the fact that the trauma is shared help the relatives of the disappeared? «It helps at least elaborate the situation. As Ismael Serrano says, sadness, if shared, becomes rage that changes lives. of Valencia a new space for reporting missing persons by DANA in Albal.
