SECRETARIA DE RIESGOS: "LES AHORRAMOS LA VERGÜENZA" DE PUBLICAR QUÉ MUNICIPIOS FALLARON

With an El Niño phenomenon that could reach record temperatures of 3.8°C, only 230 of 246 local governments have submitted their risk prevention plans, and 33 still haven't. In this interview, the National Secretary of Risk Management admits that her institution decided not to publish the list of municipalities that missed the deadline —"we spared them the embarrassment"— while Carlos Vera uses the recent mudslide in Zamora, which left 13 dead and 6 missing, as a warning of what can happen if prevention continues to be delayed.
