Valle del Cauca earthquake recovery efforts
Overview
An earthquake on August 10 caused significant damage across the Valle del Cauca region of Colombia, impacting both infrastructure and historical heritage. In the municipality of Toro, the San Juan Bautista chapel, a National Cultural Interest Bien dating to 1610, faces potential collapse due to structural damage and a lack of long term investment.
In response to the disaster, recovery and solidarity initiatives have been launched. The Fonder Valle program, a collaboration between the Valle del Cauca Governor’s Office and the Ministry of Commerce, provides entrepreneurs with condonable credits of up to $5 million to replace damaged machinery and inventory.
Additionally, Governor Dilian Francisca Toro has proposed declaring August 10 as the Day of Solidarity and Union of Vallecaucanos to honor victims and recognize rescue efforts. The proposal also seeks to improve regional risk management and community preparedness.
