A landslide affected three homes in the La Verbena No. 2 community. During the inspection, personnel from the National Civil Protection System (Sinaproc) detected a gas leak in house No. 76, so it was recommended to avoid lighting any type of flame to prevent a possible accident. As a preventive measure, the families were evacuated and will temporarily stay with close relatives, while the authorities coordinate follow-up actions, assessment, and the necessary support. The institutions are maintaining surveillance in the area due to the ground instability caused by recent rains.
