Earthquake response and recovery in Dosquebradas

Overview

Following an earthquake, authorities in Dosquebradas implemented emergency mobility and security measures, including a curfew and car-free days, to ensure roads remained clear for rescue teams, ambulances, and debris removal.

One week after the event, the focus in Dosquebradas has shifted toward recovery and infrastructure assessment. Local officials have conducted nearly 1,390 engineering inspections and reported that 1,167 families have been censused. Humanitarian efforts include the distribution of approximately 6,000 aid packages and 40,000 medical supplies.

The Mayor’s Office has issued a call for specialized volunteers to assist with building censuses, animal rescue, and urban reconstruction. The city is seeking civil and structural engineers, architects, structural pathologists, veterinarians, and drone pilots with equipment, as well as laborers and individuals over 18 to assist with field surveys and data collection. Emergency response efforts are currently managing shelters and providing medical assistance in coordination with the Civil Defense and the Presidency.
