Prolonged rainfall has led to flooding and landslides across several areas of western Venezuela, displacing over 4,000 people and prompting a national emergency declaration.
The National Risk Management System (SNGR) activated emergency protocols in affected municipalities, including Pueblo Llano, Cardenal Quintero, Miranda, Rangel, Acarigua, Santos Marquina, Libertador, Campo Elías, Arzobispo Chacón, and Alberto Adriani.
Officials reported road damage in various locations, including landslides, river overflows, and sections of roadway being washed out. Civil Protection teams are on the ground providing support and coordinating response efforts.
Access to the states of Barinas and Trujillo remains limited due to damage along Trunk Roads 001 and 007. Repair crews are currently working to restore access.
No fatalities have been reported, and authorities credit timely response measures with helping to prevent further harm.
