This clearly means a problem for families who have gone through this situation.”
The municipal teamsThey are collecting all the information to build a more complete diagnosis, since we are going to require the intervention of the central government, through specific aid to families so that they can return to normality.. In addition to this, it is essential to carry out a set of civil works such as retaining walls, paving and road improvements, because if events of this type are repeated, they require the city to have greater infrastructure that allows mitigating the impact on the population. ”.
