Latin American earthquake recovery and reconstruction

Overview

Latin American nations are managing the long-term consequences of significant seismic activity.

In Colombia, President Abelardo De la Espriella has initiated reconstruction efforts following an earthquake on August 10. The government is coordinating with the private sector and has implemented banking measures to reduce interest rates for affected homeowners.

In Venezuela, authorities have partnered with Miyamoto International to manage the removal of over three million tons of debris following a major earthquake in June, focusing on structural evaluations and debris recycling in the Litoral Central region. In the Táchira state, residents face ongoing housing and road emergencies due to geological faults. Additionally, in the El Junquito region, families living in homes marked as unsafe have received temporary wooden housing from the NGO Techo while awaiting permanent state-led solutions.
