Prados del Este Case
• The populations of one community Prados del Este
was entirely moved to another site were they living
without the risk of flooding,
• The particularity of Prados del Este was that the
hole complex was built in a high risk of flooding
area it was
– Under the level of the highway with a difference
of about 3 meters, so it was more vulnerable to
flooding,
– There were no walls to protect the community.
• The person related with the financial issues and
construction of
Prados del Este are under
investigation and are under arrest.
Actions Developed After the
Floods
•
Reorganization of the Institution: Due to the change of
government followed by the heavy floods, and the lack of
coordination with the communities the organization decide
that there was to make a direct link to the people
prioritizing the vulnerable ones, the National Coordination
of Local Organization was created as a mean to work with
the several groups.
•
Community
Emergency

Teams
at
Neighborhoods levels CERT-ECRE: Taking the idea
from California CERT Teams and from El Salvador Local
Brigades we develop a project to work with several
neighborhoods mainly affected by the floods, the subject is
to gave them proper tools to deal with floods so they are
receiving training on: First Aid, Local Organizations,
Evacuations, Damage Assessment and Needs Analysis.
