In the first moments of the emergency in his community, the priest relates that the community was called to provide “help with supplies, water and prepared food” for the people affected by the fire, as well as for the volunteers who were trying to contain it. the disaster.
As it became known “that what people needed to put out the fire were tools, such as machetes, pickaxes, shovels,” we worked with the community to “provide them with some other instruments to open firebreaks.”
In addition to the tools, Father Palacios indicated that They provided groceries to the people who “were left without work or to the people who also lost their crops, both avocado and laurel or some other type of crops,” which is the main work activity in the area.
