Venezuela Declares State of Emergency Following Two Major Earthquakes

Executive Power decreed the immediate suspension of all educational classes and non-essential labor activities for the upcoming days. This strategic measure aims to reduce vehicular traffic on public roads, allowing specialized rescue teams to navigate urban centers and conduct safety inspections without interference.

Additionally, the administration ordered the temporary suspension of public transport systems, including the Caracas Metro and regional railway networks. State engineers must conduct thorough structural inspections of underground tunnels and elevated train tracks before these massive transport systems can safely resume operations for millions of daily passengers."

Laughable:

"...Guevarro did not confirm how many firearms or rounds of ammunition had been stolen from the police station.

“At this point in time I’ll be unable to say, unfortunately, as we are still continuing the audit,” he said.

However, he expected this process to be completed within two days..."

A police constable dead, and 2 days to find out what was stolen. Someone wasn't keeping track? 🙄 during a SoE?

#peguisfirstnation and #fisherriverfirstnation #manitoba has declared a #stateofemergency due to #flooding.

This happens almost every single year, and the government STILL will not assist them to have a #floodway

The people of Peguis were forced to move to this flooded land many years ago due to displacement. It's the very least that they can do.
