Fear Of Big Earthquake
Grows in Guanacaste
Some 200 families in the
development project
Vivienda Chorotega, in
Santa Cruz, Guanacaste,
are living in fear
following the earthquake
of last Sunday.
The residents fear that
a stronger earthquake
than the 5.0 on the
Richter scale registered
Sunday may destroy their
homes.
Sunday's tremor shook a
number of the homes,
collapsing a great wall,
injuring one person.
Residents say that since
the homes were built
they complained about
deficiencies in the
construction and the
earthquakes that are
shaking and rolling
Guanacaste during the
season, they are in real
danger.
Sunday's earthquake left
some homes with gaping
cracks in the floor,
leaving residents to
sleep with one eye open.
The affected families
are asking intervention
by the Comisión Nacional
de Emergencias (CNE) to
assist them making their
homes safe. |
