Relief and Risk Management organizations from Pereira, Dosquebradas and Risaralda arrived at the scene to install the Unified Command Post, evaluate the damage and proceed with the evacuation and delivery of aid to families who are at risk.

The mayor in charge of Dosquebradas, Lina Marcela Mondragón, confirmed the death of two people, a minor and an elderly adult and others three minors who were rescued alive and transferred to care centers.
