The Emergency and Security Coordination Center (CECOES) 112 of the Government of the Canary Islands celebrates its 28th anniversary this Saturday, coinciding with Canary Islands Day, and launches an official diffusion channel on WhatsApp to optimize critical information transmission.

The CECOES 112 of the Government of the Canary Islands commemorates this Saturday, May 30, 2026, a triple celebration including its 28th anniversary, Canary Islands Day, and the launch of its official diffusion channel on WhatsApp. Since its inception in the late nineties, the service has established itself as a fundamental pillar for managing and responding to emergencies throughout the Archipelago.
Technological innovation marks this milestone with the introduction of a new citizen communication tool. The WhatsApp channel will enable 112 Canarias to transmit critical real-time information, including weather alerts, emergency declarations, self-protection advice, and public service information on significant incidents.
With this deployment, CECOES 112 not only celebrates its commitment to the safety of Canarians for nearly three decades but also adapts its structures to new digital platforms to ensure emergency information is more accessible, faster, and direct.
