On the other hand, the Ministry of Public Works (MOP) announced that they are still working at the national level and carrying out an exhaustive survey of the effects caused by the weather conditions caused by hurricane ETA .
They also keep monitoring the different affected areas in the provinces of Coclé, Veraguas, Chiriquí, the Ngäbe Buglé Comarca and the areas in the country that have not been affected, and are in constant coordination with the security forces and other institutions, to clear the isolated roads in order to provide a safe road network for Panamanians.
The MOP adds that there are locations of institutional and private teams available, which will be deployed once the weather conditions improve.
The MOP asks the population to avoid traveling near the affected areas, in order not to compromise personal safety and avoid greater material or human losses.
