“Here we are still at latent risk,” the mayor of the municipality of San Pablo, Ricardo Gómez Lasso, affirmed without hesitation, 72 hours after the avalanche occurred due to the overflow of the La Brisa ravine, leaving a girl missing and 350 homes affected.
When three days have passed since the emergency due to the winter wave in that town located north of Nariño, the municipal president already put his finger on the sore spot by warning that the danger for the community has not passed and that since winter is going to continue, then it is necessary to carry out infrastructure works in the short and medium term, to avoid a tragedy of incalculable proportions.
“Here we need infrastructure works, we need big works,” he insisted, making a clear warning to the Departmental and National Governments that with “warm water wipes” the problem cannot be solved.
And the work that he proposes is the channeling or diversion of the ravine, of which he said “we do not do that easily, we must do a large infrastructure work that allows us to solve the problem in the future.”
That is why he believes that the necessary investment is required, for which he made a vehement appeal to the professionals of the National Directorate of Risk Management who visited the municipality on Sunday, to take stock of the works that are required.
The governor of Nariño, Jhon Rojas Cabrera, also agreed with the mayor, in the sense that the inhabitants of San Pablo need substantive solutions in the face of the emergency they have been experiencing since last Friday afternoon, when the strong winter made them think at worst
“We take stock to establish what mitigation works and what mitigation actions are required here, to restore tranquility,” revealed the president, who thanked all the relief agencies that came together to attend to the emergency and provide relief to the inhabitants. .

Recommendations to communities
Relief agencies are reminding the entire Nariñense community that the current rainy season can cause phenomena such as landslides, floods, flash floods and hailstorms.
Due to the above, it is requested to clean the pipes, drains and sinks that can be blocked, also check the trees that represent a threat, repair roofs and leaks that can flood the houses, as well as not throw sticks, waste or garbage to the rivers and streams because they can produce damming.
It is also advised that while it is raining you should stay away from towers, poles, signs and metal fences, just as you should stay away from areas of possible landslides.
