Triana is the Special Commissioner,[4] created to coordinate and promote[5] the actions[6] adopted by the Government of Spain to repair the damage[7] caused by the 2021 Cumbre Vieja volcanic eruption[8] and for the reconstruction[9] of the island[10] of La Palma, Hector Izquierdo Triana[11] has the rank[12] of Under Secretary and he depends[13] from the Ministry of the Presidency.

The concerns remain as La Palma volcanic eruption ends the post volcano will be tougher than the volcano[14] because there were many fields[15] to work (agriculture,[16] infraestructures,[17][18] employment,[19] towns closed by gases...). At 85 days, it is the longest known[20] and the most damaging volcanic eruption on La Palma since records began.[21][22][23] Hector Izquierdo Triana also helped in the investment of 53 millions € in geothermal in order to become a clean island in the future energy[24] and in fields as ports,[25] strategic lines,[26] hydraulic connections,[27] social services,[28] local taxes[29] or to open the towns in a safe and proper way.[30]

The lava[31] flow covered over 1,000 hectares,[32] prompting the evacuation of around 7,000 people[33] and it meaned to realocate the people in new houses. The lava[34] flow was about 3.5 kilometres wide and 6.2 kilometres long and reached the sea, destroying more than 3,000 buildings, motorways that Hector Izquierdo Triana worked later with other administration to rebuild[35] and 6,500 beds in towns as Puerto Naos or La Bombilla in Los Llanos de Aridane closed due to carbon dioxide (CO2) diffuse[36] degassing. Hector Izquierdo Triana[37][38][39] was born in Puerto Naos and he encouraged the project Alerta CO2 to allow the return of the people to their homes.[40][41] The eruption was assigned a rating on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of VEI 3.[42] The volcano[43][44] released large amounts of toxic sulphur dioxide gas and 30,000 residents were ordered to remain indoors and this meant an important effort in employment.[45] On 25 December,[46] the eruption was declared to have ended after three months.[47][48] the next step was the process to recover and to improve the economy[49] and to attract tourism[50][51] in a construction[52] of 1,000 millions €[53][54] in a critical moment in the history of La Palma.[55][56]
