FLOODS Appeal No
11 February2000 VENEZUELA: FLOODS appeal no. 35/99 situation report no. 8 period covered: 18 January - 7 February 2000 The Federation, the Venezuelan Red Cross and Participating National Societies are increasing the scope of emergency relief assistance to flood victims. It includes food, clean water, health care and psychological support. The bad weather is continuing in some areas, causing further damage and adding to logistical difficulties. The disaster Weeks of torrential rains in Venezuela at the end of 1999 caused massive landslides and severe flooding in seven northern states. The official death toll is 30,000 but other sources put the figure as high as 50,000. Over 600,000 persons are estimated to have been directly affected and according to the Venezuelan Civil Defence’s initial damage assessments at least 64,700 houses have been damaged and over 23,200 destroyed. Update A state of alert is still in effect in the State of Vargas as rains continue in the mountains. Eight districts are still only accessible by air. The cave-in of one lane of the highway to El Junquito has cut off seven towns. The collapse of the highway between Morón and Coro has isolated the state of Falcón. Twenty four new landslides and floods were recorded during the past week. A growing lagoon has built up above Caracas because of debris blocking the rivers. The authorities have started to demolish condemned homes and shanty houses built in dangerous areas such as ravines and canyons because warmer weather is producing cracks in the mud banks and badly damaged homes are collapsing under their own weight. -

Caribbean Subduction Zone from Ambient Noise and Ballistic Rayleigh Wave Tomography

This work is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. 3D shear velocity structure of the northwestern South America- Caribbean Subduction Zone from ambient noise and ballistic Rayleigh wave tomography Wenpei Miao, John Cornthwaite, Alan Levander, Fenglin Niu, Michael Schmitz, German Prieto, and Viviana Dionicio Rice University, Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences, Houston, United States of America ([email protected]) The Caribbean plate (CAR) collided with and initiated subduction beneath northwestern South America (SA) at about 60-55 Ma. Since the onset of subduction, it has formed the Lara nappes and subsequently the Laramide-style uplifts of the Merida Andes, Sierra de la Perija and Santa Marta ranges, with maximum elevations > 5km. The triangular Maracaibo block, bounded by the Santa Marta-Bucaramanga, Bocono and Oca-Ancon Faults, is currently escaping to the north relative to SA over both the subducting and nonsubducting elements of the CAR plate. Although many petroleum related seismic studies have been done in this area, the details of the subduction geometry of the CAR plate beneath the Maracaibo block remain unclear. The few deeper seismic investigations are either very large scale, very local, or only peripheral to this area. Previous geodetic studies have suggested that this region has potential for a great (M~8+) earthquake (Bilham and Mencin, 2013). To investigate this complex region we fielded a 65 element broadband seismic array to complement the 48 existing stations of the Colombian and Venezuelan national seismic networks. The array is collectively referred to as the CARMArray. -

Venezuela February 2021
Venezuela February 2021 UNHCR, 2021 HIGHLIGHTS KEY FIGURES Through the end of February a total of 151,960 individuals (55% female and 45% male) benefited from better access to safe shelter, 24 Cluster partners energy and / or basic equipment in ten states and Distrito Capital. Partner efforts were mostly channelled towards interventions at the community level and included the installation of 23 Refugee Housing People Units (RHUs) in community centres in Apure (3), Falcón (6), Sucre (9) and Táchira (5) states. Other interventions focused on the installation of street solar lamps in host communities and in community centres in Sucre state. During February, the nationwide quarantine was extended, together with movement restrictions, in order to prevent the spread of the COVID-19. According to the Venezuela Ministry of Health, as of the end of February Venezuela had 6,557 active cases and over 139,000 registered cases in total. On 11 February, an ad-hoc meeting was organised with the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) and the Deputy Humanitarian Funding Coordinator updated the members on the advocacy efforts carried out with key relevant Governmental authorities. Based on a request Total funding required: done by the Venezuela Humanitarian Coordinator, cash-based $45.0 M activity modalities in country remained temporarily suspended Funded: 0% through the reporting period. Source: Projects approved HRP The draft Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2021 document, which 2021 in HPC.tools / Financial has been already shared with the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Tracking Service (FTS) Affairs (MFA) is still under review. Reportedly, spontaneous returnees continue entering Venezuela through non-official crossings in the Colombian-Venezuelan border KEY DATES and the border with Brazil, with most of crossing registered during the flexible weeks. -
Molecular and Epidemiologic Characterization of the Diphtheria Outbreak in Venezuela Ricardo A
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Molecular and epidemiologic characterization of the diphtheria outbreak in Venezuela Ricardo A. Strauss1*, Laura Herrera‑Leon2, Ana C. Guillén4, Julio S. Castro3, Eva Lorenz1, Ana Carvajal5, Elizabeth Hernandez5, Trina Navas11, Silvana Vielma8, Neiris Lopez12, Maria G. Lopez10, Lisbeth Aurenty10, Valeria Navas9, Maria A. Rosas6, Tatiana Drummond5, José G. Martínez5, Erick Hernández8, Francis Bertuglia7, Omaira Andrade7, Jaime Torres3, Jürgen May1, Silvia Herrera‑Leon2 & Daniel Eibach1 In 2016, Venezuela faced a large diphtheria outbreak that extended until 2019. Nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal samples were prospectively collected from 51 suspected cases and retrospective data from 348 clinical records was retrieved from 14 hospitals between November 2017 and November 2018. Confrmed pathogenic Corynebactrium isolates were biotyped. Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) was performed followed by next‑generation‑based core genome‑MLST and minimum spanning trees were generated. Subjects between 10 and 19 years of age were mostly afected (n = 95; 27.3%). Case fatality rates (CFR) were higher in males (19.4%), as compared to females (15.8%). The highest CFR (31.1%) was observed among those under 5, followed by the 40 to 49 age‑group (25.0%). Nine samples corresponded to C. diphtheriae and 1 to C. ulcerans. Two Sequencing Types (ST), ST174 and ST697 (the latter not previously described) were identifed among the eight C. diphtheriae isolates from Carabobo state. Cg‑MLST revealed only one cluster also from Carabobo. The Whole Genome Sequencing analysis revealed that the outbreak seemed to be caused by diferent strains with C. diphtheriae and C. ulcerans coexisting. The reemergence and length of this outbreak suggest vaccination coverage problems and an inadequate control strategy. -
Venezuela Self-Rule INSTITUTIONAL DEPTH and POLICY SCOPE Venezuela's Intermediate Governance Consists of Twenty-Three Estados
Venezuela Self-rule INSTITUTIONAL DEPTH AND POLICY SCOPE Venezuela’s intermediate governance consists of twenty-three estados (states) and the Distrito Capital (Capital District, formerly the Distrito Federal), as well as twelve island groupings which make up the dependencias federales (federal dependencies) with 6500 inhabitants, and until 1998, the territorios federales (federal territories), which were dependencies. The three territorios federales were granted the status of estados: Delta Amacuro in 1991, Amazonas in 1992, and Vargas in 1998.1 Estados are divided into statistical regions, which have no administrative life. New constitutions were passed in 1947, 1953, 1961, and 1999 (and revised in 2009). Two distritos metropolitanos (metropolitan districts)-- the Distrito del Alto Apure and Distrito Metropolitano de Caracas--were created in 2001 and 2000, respectively, and abolished late 2017. Venezuela was established as a federation by its first constitution in 1811 (Hernández-Mendible 1998: 2), but is today the most centralized of the four federal states in Latin America (Escobar Lemmon 2003; Lijphart 1999: 190; Levine 1989: 273; Bland 1997: 38, 2002). Estados gained some authority when the 1947 constitution was revised with the onset of democracy in 1961. A significant increase in regional authority also took place in the late eighties and early nineties (Penfold-Becerra 1999). In contrast, the presidency of Hugo Chávez (1999–2013) was centralizing. Article 3 of the 1947 constitution divides the national territory in estados, the Distrito Federal, and the Territorios Federales and Dependencias Federales. Estados were recognized as autonomous entities (Title VI, Art. 120), vested with compe- tences over local police (Art. 93), own institutional set up (Art. -

Región Oriental La Región Oriental Está Integrada Por Los Estados Anzoátegui, Delta Amacuro, Monagas, Nueva Esparta Y Sucre; Cuenta Con 64 Municipios
46 PLAN NACIONAL DE DESARROLLO REGIONAL DESEQUILIBRIO INTERNACIONAL La línea limítrofe de la Región Occidental con Colombia tiene una extensión de 780 km, desde Castilletes al norte (Hito 1), hasta Boca de Grita, al sur del Estado Táchira; y, aunque el occidente de Venezuela y el oriente de Colombia han generado variadas relaciones fronterizas que datan de años atrás, aún persisten desequilibrios macroeconómicos que limitan el proceso de integración regional, debido a la existencia de diferentes niveles de desarrollo entre ambos países así como a la inexistencia de mecanismos idóneos que faciliten dicho proceso. En la región se manifiesta una debilidad en las relaciones comerciales binacionales, en cuanto a políticas internacionales de exportación e importación de insumos, productos agrícolas, turísticos, comerciales e institucionales, basados en sus ventajas comparativas. Asimismo, hace falta una política que exprese los intereses regionales dentro de una visión geopolítica que permita proyectar la frontera con los países de Centro y Sur América y del Caribe, promover principios de paz y cooperación a través del intercambio comercial, la preservación del medio ambiente y la seguridad de bienes y personas, particularmente con la República de Colombia. Se debe destacar la escasa atención prestada al despoblamiento y abandono del territorio fronterizo indígena, en detrimento de la integración, la cultura y la seguridad y defensa del territorio; todo lo cual tiene sus efectos en la agudización de conflictos y pérdida de soberanía. 1.4.4. Región Oriental La Región Oriental está integrada por los estados Anzoátegui, Delta Amacuro, Monagas, Nueva Esparta y Sucre; cuenta con 64 municipios. Limita por el norte con el mar Caribe; por el sur con el Estado Bolívar; por el este con el océano Atlántico; y por el oeste con los estados Guárico y Miranda.
