EARTHQUAKE IN SEVERAL AREAS OF COLOMBIA
On August 10, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake was felt in several areas of Colombia.
In communication with Provincial Brother Erik Castillo, it was reported that at 7:34 a.m. a strong earthquake occurred. Once the event was known, all communities and centers throughout the country were contacted.
The earthquake significantly affected the central region of the country. As a result, the San Juan de Dios Clinic in Manizales was the most severely affected, with damage to its physical infrastructure.
No injuries have been reported among the Brothers, patients, or coworkers. Inquiries are also being made with the families of coworkers members to determine whether anyone has been affected and, if necessary, activate assistance channels.
The Province will provide further updates once additional assessments have been completed.arth
