The return home of the majority of the 2037 people who were sheltered at homes of families or neighbors, even more intense cleanup and sanitation task, set the tone of the actions undertaken by the inhabitants of the Guantanamo municipality to compensate the damage caused recently by heavy rains and tornado.
Rainfall, with records of 350.7 millimeters in two days, caused the spate of Baracoa numerous rivers and their tributaries, consequently flooding in some neighborhoods of the city and damage to roads, agriculture and food store, including other. The tornado, meanwhile, hit the roof of some 255 dwellings and to the mains.
To repair these damages, six brigades of the Basic Electric Organization and Telecommunication Company of Cuba (ETECSA) are activated, Carlos Manuel Cordero Rodriguez, head of the Civil Defense Baracoa, told Granma.
According to the official, Communal Services intensifies work in collecting rubble and cleaning and sanitizing this ancient city, National Monument; while the working groups, set up in the four affected neighborhoods, visit families whose homes were collapsed, in order to pinpoint the damage and find the best possible solution for each case.
Agriculture centers its resources on the recovery of nurseries, houses protected and semi-protected crops, on the rescue of thousands of cocoa seeds at the Micrografts Center in Paso de Cuba and pruning trees toppled or damaged, among other actions.
One of the most difficult points again is the bridge Jamal (damaged previously by floods), as temporary facilities created there to allow passage of vehicles towards Maisí neighborhoods, was severely damaged and now it is risky to passage of bulky cars.
