Just as we will also do to all vulnerable families in the country.\u201d<\/em>\n\nPresident Abinader stated that, prior to the situation, resources had already been allocated<\/strong> to intervene in these areas and recalled that since last year he had given some funds, some 90 million pesos<\/strong>, also indicating that those resources were advanced and that, with the complementary budget, more funds will be allocated<\/strong> to the city council to continue the work in the ravines.<\/strong>\n\n\n
We recommend reading:Abinader: aid will arrive gradually while the Government remains in permanent session due to rains<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\nThe president explained that, in coordination with the city council, work has been done on both the large and small canals, including larger interventions<\/strong> in the Jicaco<\/strong> canal, as well as in the Lebr\u00f3n stream<\/strong>, which extends from Pedro Brand<\/strong>, where two bridges have already been built and continues to impact the most vulnerable areas. \u201cAll the floods here have to do with that part of the Lebr\u00f3n stream\u201d,<\/em> he said.\n\nLikewise, the president informed that he will visit other affected areas, highlighting the municipalities<\/strong> Montellano and Imbert<\/strong>, in Puerto Plata, as the most impacted. He indicated that, from early hours, officials were deployed to different provinces to address the emergencies.<\/strong>\n\nOn his part, the mayor of Los Alcarrizos, Junior Santos<\/strong>, explained that the situation recorded is unprecedented in the municipality and pointed out that the origin of the situation is in the Lebr\u00f3n stream and that President Abinader has already arranged support<\/strong> to develop a canalization project with gabion walls as a definitive solution.<\/strong>\n\n\u201cHere, unfortunately, what happened had never happened in the 50 years we have been walking in Los Alcarrizos. Today we are being affected. Now, that has also coincided with solutions that have been planned,\u201d <\/em>he said, while adding that the Jicaco stream, which is about two kilometers<\/strong>, already has more than 600 meters<\/strong> boxed in, and that the situation occurred in the middle of that construction process.\n\nSantos reported that, at the mouth of the Jicaco creek, about 7 million pesos<\/strong> have already been delivered to compensate the families whose properties were demolished to make way for the construction of a park. He also indicated that there is already a section of about 400 meters<\/strong> of this creek that has been converted into a park. He also reported that about 36 points are being impacted with creek channeling and construction of box culvert bridges<\/strong> to improve communication between sectors, while explaining that the municipality has 83 kilometers of creeks<\/strong>, with the Lebr\u00f3n stream and the Jicaco creek being the most affected.\n\nThe mayor also indicated that approximately 280 million pesos have already been put out to tender<\/strong> to continue the work and specified that \"1,800 families were affected here in Nuevo Amanecer alone; in La Islita, 300 families; in Brisa del Lebr\u00f3n, 1,250; 47 in La Fe, and between 25 and 30 families in general.\"<\/em>\n\n\n
