We want to share with you that we are very happy because we have managed to raise awareness about the risks we face here in the mountains with earthquakes, hurricanes and the heavy rains they cause.
The greatest risk is landslides and damage to homes.
In addition to the rains, during the hurricanes there are strong winds that affect houses because their sheet roofs fly and in the case of corn crops they end and coffee trees lose their flowering and fruits.
By raising awareness, we have achieved that the Department of Civil Protection is formed in the municipality and that the companion Mariela Solís Martínez is in charge, now we have to support her to achieve actions to prevent disasters.
That is why we are now working on the Municipal Risk Reduction Plan and preparing our resilience capabilities.
