Cerro Hermitte geological emergency and relocation

Overview

A geological emergency at Cerro Hermitte in Chubut has necessitated large-scale intervention plans due to significant ground instability. A stability study by IATASA indicated that required earthworks would involve moving over 5 million cubic meters of earth, a task that exceeds municipal budgets and may not provide a permanent solution.

In response, the Municipality of Comodoro Rivadavia and the Chubut Government are coordinating relocation efforts for families in the Los Tilos, Marquesado, and Mazaredo neighborhoods. The proposed housing solution involves developing 138 lots on the site of former YPF warehouses.

To support displaced residents, local authorities are working to provide direct land titles to avoid administrative delays. Additionally, the municipality has committed to providing subsidies and essential services, while Governor Ignacio Torres has pledged to facilitate soft loans through Banco del Chubut.
