The week’s snow and rain storm left many Santa Cruz towns facing significant challenges. Low temperatures and heavy snowfall caused interruptions in basic services, making both mobility and the distribution of supplies difficult.
For this reason, provincial and local authorities are working to restore normality, but the situation remains critical in several areas. And although there is no forecast for heavy snowfall like this week, the cold will remain intense.
Within this framework, the provincial government is evaluating the situation in each locality on a case-by-case basis to determine in which schools activities can resume. “The premise is that on Monday classes will be normal throughout the province, but we are going to evaluate each particular case, so we ask the community to pay attention to the official information,” spokespersons for the Government of Santa Cruz told La Opinión Austral. .
Although some areas are more affected than others, in many it is expected that conditions will improve enough to allow a return to classrooms. The educational authorities assured that they will inform in a timely manner about any changes or developments regarding the resumption of classes.
What will happen in localities supplied with LPG
The situation warrants coordinated work between several organizations because many activities of daily life depend on the functioning of essential services.
While traffic on Route 3 slowed down, from Trelew to the south of Santa Cruz, with assisted caravans taking place, the trucks that supply LPG to towns that are not connected to the natural gas network were delayed in your arrival itinerary.
That is why this Saturday, the Provincial Council of Education announced that there would be no activity in Los Antiguos due to the lack of gas. But it was later confirmed that the LPG truck will arrive in time to supply the community.
“The cause of the suspension is the shortage of bottled gas (LPG) that affects the entire community, in the context of the extreme cold and the impassability of routes that prevent normal supply through means of transportation. The priority is home consumption,” they had officially reported. Now it depends on the trucks arriving as planned.
