A storm packing 45- to 50-kph winds hit Comodoro Rivadavia on 7 April, dumping almost 100 millimetres of rain over a period of 24 hours, killing two people and directly and indirectly affecting 100,000 others. Twelve additional collective centres had to be opened - for a total of 24 - which are primarily managed by neighbourhood point persons. According to official province government estimates, some 3000 people had to be evacuated, in addition to the more than 5000 others across the province who were forced to self-evacuate.
Six months later, reconstruction is well underway.
Social investment from companies and governmet has been pouring.
Some expamples:
Four different neighbourhods will improve their water and sewage system with govt. funding. C
The Bank of Chubut, through its CSR program delivered computers, printers, chairs, desks, and school supplies to 19 different schools.
Because of the organizations commitment, there is no longer a need to fundraise from individuals.
Thankyou!
