López recalled that 15 years ago the creek also overflowed and at that time the authorities carried out the weeding and cleaning of the creek.
“They have not done maintenance again and the logs and debris have accumulated, thus preventing the fluidity of the current. So far the magnitude of the damage is not known, what we know is that five families lost everything, “he stressed.
Officials of Civil Protection and Firefighters of the state of Mérida are constantly monitoring the overflow of the creek and have made an evaluation to determine the possible risks that exist for the families that live in the area, so that in this way they can take measures in this regard. .
