After two strong earthquakes on June 24, Venezuela has seen a steady decline in both the frequency and magnitude of aftershocks. According to the authorities, as of June 29 there were 689 seismic events recorded. The number of aftershocks has fallen from 86 per day to 30, confirming that subsurface activity is gradually dying down. However, government representative Jorge Rodríguez stressed that this does not mean the threat has been fully lifted: the number and strength of aftershocks are decreasing, but the risk of further ground shaking remains, and all services are continuing to operate in an enhanced state of readiness.
To help those affected, 14 temporary shelters have been set up in La Guaira state, and another 55 in Caracas, Miranda, and other regions. The authorities are working to minimize how long people stay in tent camps and to speed up relocation to prepared centers that provide medical and psychological support. At the same time, communications are being restored: in La Guaira, mobile operators have already restored 24 to 64% of capacity, while the fixed network Cantv is operating at 70%, allowing those affected to stay in touch with their relatives. Search-and-rescue operations involving local and international teams continue, and any changes in the seismic situation will be reported immediately through official channels.
