1.000
Evacuated
For
Fear
of
Landslides
The
count
is
up
to
1.000
who
have
been
evacuated
from
their
homes
in
the
last
two
days
for
fear
of
landslides.
The
worst
affected
is
the
cantons
of
Carrillo
and
Santa
Cruz
in
Guanacaste,
and
the
Chaguite
community
in
Santa
Barbara,
Heredia.
The
Comisión
Nacional
de
Emergencias
(CNE)
-
National
Emergency
Commission
-
reported
that
the
evacuation
is a
precautionary
measure
and
the
vast
majority
agreed
to
go
live
with
friends
and
relatives.
The
CNE
has
12
shelters
in
Golfito,
Puntarenas,
Poas,
Santa
Ana,
San
Ramon,
Santa
Cruz
and
Carrillo,
housing
361
people.
The
shelters
and
evacuation
a
consequence
of
last
week's
storm
that
affected
the
country
and
intensifying
yesterday,
affecting
especially
the
Central
Valley
and
the
province
of
Guanacaste.
Driving
in
San
José
during
heavy
rain
can
be
an
experience,
to
say
the
least!
