Comandos de Salvamento remains on alert due to the seismic swarm affecting the area of Chirilagua, San Miguel, and Intipucá, La Unión. So far, 318 movements have been reported, more than 80 of which have been felt by the population.
These seismic movements have caused damage to several homes in the affected area, forcing residents to leave their homes. They are being sheltered in the Campo Nuevo sector of Cantón Tierra Blanca, San Miguel, where 450 people—children, women, older adults, and men—are taking refuge. They will be provided with medical assistance and food supplies in the coming hours.
Comandos de Salvamento will deploy more personnel to the affected areas to assist with evacuation and pre-hospital care efforts, as well as to help meet the needs of families affected by the seismic swarms.
Authorities from the Ministry of Education have reported that classes have been suspended in the Municipios of Chirilagua and Intipucá until further notice.
