Acting Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez has announced the creation of a government commission to assess the damage from the recent earthquakes and oversee reconstruction efforts.
Rodriguez established the commission to manage damage assessment after the twin earthquakes that struck the country. Officials reported that 774 buildings were affected and 189 were fully collapsed across the nation, reflecting the widespread destruction.
The commission is tasked with evaluating the scope of the damage and coordinating the rebuilding process, a critical step in the recovery from a disaster of this magnitude. Comprehensive assessments help direct resources and plan long-term reconstruction.
The earthquakes caused severe devastation, particularly in coastal areas, leaving many dead, missing or displaced. Governments typically respond to such disasters by organizing structured efforts to evaluate losses and rebuild infrastructure and housing.
The announcement comes as Venezuela continues to grapple with the aftermath of the catastrophe, supported by international rescue and relief efforts. Establishing a dedicated commission signals the government’s move from the immediate emergency response toward the longer process of recovery and reconstruction.
