The storm of wind and rain affecting the region has left a series of consequences, which fortunately have not had any victims to mourn.
In Las Cabras, during the night municipal officials, headed by Mayor Juan Pablo Flores Astorga, emergency teams and CGE, were on the ground responding to different emergencies, including roof blow-offs, fallen trees, problems with electrical lines, among other requirements.
In Pichilemu, emergency teams have been working on fallen trees and some flooding, the same situation as in the commune of Palmilla.
The road to Matanzas was reopened at Christmas after being closed due to a fallen tree.
In Coinco, traffic to El Cajón was suspended due to fallen trees on the road, which blocked the road. This was due to the strong gusts of wind that occurred during the night of Thursday and early this morning.
In Codegua, traffic to and from Hotel La Leonera is suspended after a power pole fell, blocking the road. For safety reasons, it was recommended not to walk up to the hotel, as the cables could be energized.
In Coltauco, due to strong winds, vehicle traffic is suspended in the Montegrande sector due to the possible fall of a street lighting pole.
The Municipal Emergency teams, DIDECO, Public Security and Coltauco Firefighters are on the ground assisting with various problems that have affected the commune. Caution was requested and people should not leave their homes unless necessary.
In Rengo, emergency teams are deployed after a very complicated night in which many residents are faced with problems caused by roofs blown off and trees and branches falling. This morning’s work begins with the clearing of roads, as there are many trees that prevent the emergency teams from passing through.
The Rengo Fire Department is stationed and in contact with the Public Safety Directorate’s Televigilance Center. Emergencies are being reported in various sectors such as Lo de Lobo, El Cerrillo, El Llano, Egenau, Lautaro, Guevara, Santa Isabel, Esmeralda, so work will be directed to these points. Plaza de Armas and Bisquert have reported many fallen branches and will always represent a risk in the presence of winds.
In San Fernando, due to the fall of a pole, the northern access to the commune is closed to vehicular traffic. For those who wish to enter or leave the commune, we ask that they prefer alternatives – Maggi Crossing and South Access – and we reiterate the call to responsible companies that can appear on site to enable this important point of the commune.
