THE COUNTRY | Manizales
The Headquarters of Environmental Risk Management and Climate Change of Caldas reported this Saturday the total loss of the banks of the Philadelphia-Manizales road, in the Lavaderos sector.
Félix Ricardo Giraldo, director of that agency, reported that the collapse caused the breakdown of the gas network that supplies the municipalities of La Merced, Pácora, Aguadas and Filadelfia.
He indicated that the Madigas company carried out the preventive shutdown of the network and are quantifying the work to restore the service safely.
Giraldo pointed out: “this end of the year season will be rained, we must prepare to face events such as landslides, floods and torrential avenues; we call on all mayors, municipal risk management councils and relief agencies to activate prevention and contingency plans in the event of avalanches, floods, sudden floods and landslides, especially in areas located on slopes ”.
The director recommended that the citizens carry out a monitoring of the areas located near rivers and streams, since accumulations of rain can occur, which generate damming and torrential avenues, which affect the houses located near these places.
Impacts in Caldas this Saturday:
* Preventively evacuated homes in Villamaría, Viterbo, Pennsylvania, Chinchiná and Victoria.
* There are large-scale landslides in the departmental road network: on the road between Philadelphia and Manizales with total loss of the bank.
* Road between Risaralda and San José landslide of great magnitude.
