Civil protection and emergency management

INITIAL PICKUP
Safety, understood as a comprehensive management of all the processes that make safe transport possible, includes, among others, risk management, contingency resolution, emergency management and return to normality.

Prevention, as well as the detection or materialization of a certain risk, makes it necessary to coordinate with the emergency intervention services of the different Public Administrations

For this, while it is updated and improved, theEmergency Action Master Plan (PDAE)is implemented, with which it is intended to provide a comprehensive response to any emergency that affects Adif and / or Adif-Alta Velocidad, regardless of whether or not it affects rail traffic.
