At the meeting of the Municipal Defense Council, work priorities were defined, including protecting the population, for which it was agreed to evacuate all inhabitants in areas at risk of flooding.

Another of the priorities defined is the rapid distribution of the basic food basket to all pending and difficult-to-access places, using alternative means of transportation, as well as the sale of agricultural products.

In another order, it was directed to mobilize the people for the recovery of the warehouses, the Family Doctor’s Offices, the schools and work centers so that they can be incorporated to provide service to the population in the shortest possible time.
