The collapse of a hillside in Pataz, in the Sierra de La Libertad, quickly mobilized all the regional and government authorities, who are heading to the site of bringing aid to begin rescue efforts and identify the dozens of those affected by this phenomenon.
The road to Pataz, by land, takes about 16 hours leaving from the province of Trujillo, so the government has arranged aircraft to reach the area of the tragedy. The President of the Republic even stated via Twitter that he has ordered the Minister of Defense and the head of Indeci to give all the help to the population.
“I have arranged for the head of @indeciperu and the Minister of Defense to go to the area affected by the landslide in the province of Pataz in the La Libertad region. We will support the affected families and we will coordinate various actions with the local authorities,” said the president.
Indeci, for its part, reported that “the rapid intervention group for #Emergencias and #INDECI disasters, led by Minister @MindefPeru and our institutional head, @CarloeYanez, are going to the emergency area in the district of Parcoy, #Pataz province, La Libertad region, to coordinate response and aid actions immediate to those affected by slippage, as provided by @presidenciaperu”
“Likewise, #USAR search and rescue specialists from the @bomberosPE join this first response team,” they say.
Meanwhile, Defense Minister José Gavidia stressed that he is already on his way to Pataz, in the town of Retamas, Parcoy district (La Libertad) to respond to the emergency in the face of the slide of a hill slope. We will provide all necessary assistance to the affected families.”
Upon learning about the landslide of Cerro Retamas in Pataz in the region of La Libertad, the commissioner of the Peruvian National Police of that locality, said that so far seven missing persons have been registered, including 4 minors.
He also said that a concessionaire is supporting them with tractors and heavy machinery to remove the debris, but that the support of the authorities is needed, since the situation is delicate and the soil is very weak.
