Mayabeque, Cuba: In advance and taking into account that the San Miguel dam is pouring, the Defense Council of Zone 2, of Santa Cruz del Norte, adopted the measure of evacuating 24 people, at the Polytechnic Institute Jesús Suárez Gayol and 12 others in the homes of neighbors and relatives.
A group of residents of the Camilo Cienfuegos batey was also transferred to a safe place, due to the construction conditions shown by the buildings where they reside.
The largest number of evacuees are from the communities of Río Blanco and Jiquiago, located downstream of the reservoir.
The eleven units of the trade in ZD number 2 are selling the basic basket and readjusted their service hours until Sunday.
More than 50 percent of these structures have vulnerabilities in the roofs, mostly light ones.
Although the meteorological conditions in the north of the Mayabeque province are still favorable, the defense bodies adopted the pertinent measures in order to minimize economic damage and preserve the most precious asset, life.
