However, in case Governor Rafael Martínez or the head of the Office for Disaster Risk Management, Luis Caicedo, have not found out, from OPINIÓN CARIBE we will be reporting minute by minute about this emergency.
After more than eight hours of emergency in the town of Apure Magdalena, where more than 3,000 inhabitants lost everything after a strong flood, the governor of the department, Rafael Martínez, has not spoken, as he does subsequently on his social networks to political confrontations.
Today these families demand the presence of the departmental administration, since the magnitude of this emergency exceeds the response of the municipality of Plato, Magdalena, as it does not have sufficient capacity to address this unfortunate situation.
That is why the community, from the early hours, has made its tragedy visible and has called on Governor Martínez to effectively address this emergency. “At this moment we are asking for help, asking for help in the town of Apure, Magdalena, since a strong flood, an avalanche, has made us lose everything. There are more than 100 houses affected, we are only left with what we have on. We need you to please help us, disaster prevention, Firefighters, Police, please help us,” said one of the residents affected by the emergency.
It is expected that, after the events presented, the Government of Magdalena will issue a statement in relation to this emergency, where they will announce the measures that will be taken and the census of the victims, but not before praising former governor Carlos Caicedo, which apparently it is the guideline for each statement.
However, in case Governor Martínez or the head of the Office for Disaster Risk Management, Luis Caicedo, have not found out, from OPINIÓN CARIBE we will be reporting minute by minute on this emergency.
