Recovery of public utilities is taking place alongside broader reconstruction efforts across the state. More than 1,300 machine operators and work crews remain deployed in La Guaira, carrying out reconstruction work at more than 500 active sites following the June 24 earthquakes.
The operation is supported by logistics teams that prepare and distribute more than 1,000 meals each day to workers deployed in the affected areas.
Luz Marina, assistant to the director of the Ministry of Public Works, called on people to contribute to the ongoing recovery effort. “Whether it is like all of us here, as workers contributing our grain of sand for all the colleagues who are out there working with the machinery.”
She said many members of the workforce have continued their duties despite losing relatives and homes during the earthquakes.
“Even though they have suffered the loss of family members and the loss of their homes, they have continued contributing through their work every day, from Monday to Monday.”
Among those supporting the operation is cook Abigail, who lost 11 members of her family in the earthquakes and continues preparing meals for reconstruction crews. “Life goes on; we must move forward with those of us who remain.”
Nazaret Vargas, a warehouse coordinator at the Ministry of Public Works’ base camp in La Guaira, said the facility prepares 1,000 lunches or more each day while coordinating food distribution and other logistical support for personnel working across the state.
Authorities said reconstruction and the restoration of essential public services remain underway throughout La Guaira following the June 24 earthquakes.
