In foreign municipalities such as Morán, they reported damage to the roads in the Guarico parish, on the road that leads to the town of Villanueva, with two landslides and one edge fault. As well as landslides on the central-western highway in the Torres municipality, one in the Atarigua sector and another in Turturia.
In closing, he indicated that the Risk Management System of the Lara state remains “active, deployed, attending to different situations that have been reported due to hydrometeorological events” in a large part of the Lara state.
In this sense, he urged the entire Larense population to become aware and not throw waste into natural channels. “We have shown that the increases and damming of water have been due to the accumulation of garbage in natural channels.”
