00:20Hello studios, coming to you once again from La Guaira doing an oversight of what has been
00:25the day and the development of the different plans that are underway in the state almost
00:30four weeks after the double earthquake of June 24th in Caravalleda.
00:35The removal of debris continues and also one of the most important highlights of the day
00:42has been the press conference led by Francisco Garces, the president of the Commission of
00:47Infrastructure Habitability.
00:49He stated in that press conference that out of the entire state, over 6,900 buildings,
00:59residencies have been evaluated out of those buildings that were evaluated.
01:05Almost half of them, 3,200 were labeled in their color code green.
01:11Green means that they are 100% safe to live in.
01:17They have suffered no major damages and they are basically okay.
01:21Out of those also, out of the total over 6,900, 1,785 are coded yellow.
01:31Yellow means that they are okay in terms of the basic structure.
01:37The structure has not been compromised, but they have suffered damages that need to be repaired.
01:42Of those repairments, we've also followed the works that are underway.
01:47Other days, we have followed some of these in Caracas, but in La Guaira as well.
01:52So, we have been in the Mare Abajo urbanism where some of these works are being carried out and have
01:59been carried out for the past days.
02:01Actually, in that press conference and also visiting these works that are underway was the president of the Venezuela Rises
02:10Again or Venezuela Renace Plan, the Reconstruction Plan, Jacqueline Faria.
02:16And she communicated the total amount of residencies that are being worked on in Reconstructional Works in Venezuela and at
02:26the national level.
02:27We are talking about over 11,794 households that are now in Reconstruction in the entire nation.
02:38And particularly in La Guaira, she visited the works that are underway right now, stating that the most pressing need
02:47and the direction of the acting president, Delcy Rodriguez, is to meet the needs of the population.
02:53Delcy Rodriguez, who we're just mentioning, was also in La Guaira to inspect certain territories that could be viable for
03:02new construction.
03:03So, as we see, these are the different plans and the different stages of this construction and reconstruction plan.
03:12Venezuela Renace, that is, of course, involving the different stages needed for the different levels of damage.
03:20We have a plan for reconstruction for those buildings that have suffered damages that can be repaired
03:28and also a plan for the construction of new households for those that have been completely damaged.
03:36The acting president in this case also mentioned a plan that from here on to December,
03:43they are planning on being able to provide a household to anyone who has completely lost their homes
03:51and are currently staying at a transitory camp.
03:54This is what is happening here in La Guaira, all the information from the territory.
