SemanaIndependentCenterFactual 90Objective 858 days agoThe National Disaster Risk Management Unit (UNGRD) has called on mayors and governors to participate in national coordination meetings during the ongoing emergency caused by a recent earthquake affecting multiple regions of Colombia. Director David Santiago Tamayo stated that only representatives from specific departments were present at the latest Unified Command Post (PMU), prompting the UNGRD to request the Attorney General’s Office to urge non-participating municipalities to connect and provide updated information. The UNGRD confirmed that while the country still has the capacity to respond, international specialized teams from the United States, Ecuador, and Israel are being utilized under UN accreditation. They warned against allowing uncertified rescue groups to operate, as these could hinder relief efforts by requesting resources without operational capability. As of August 15, the disaster has resulted in 289 deaths, 3,937 injuries, 143 missing persons, and 353 rescued individuals, impacting over 117,222 people across 448 municipalities.
