El Niño Costero has caused millions in damages in Peru. This is why Mercedes Aráoz, President of the Ministerial Council, announced that it has been decided to invest 7,078 million soles to execute 3,512 projects in the areas affected by this natural phenomenon.
The necessary reconstructions need to take place in around 13 districts in Peru, according to declarations given by Aráoz to El Peruano in a press conference alongside the Executive Director of the Authority to Reconstruct with Changes (ARCC), Edgar Quispe, in a Ministerial Council meeting.
Aráoz, Quispe, and others decided in the meeting to review the processes and the bottlenecks in order to apply needed corrections that will allow the acceleration of the reconstruction of affected areas by El Niño Costero.
Quispe also informed to El Peruano that “the reconstruction with changes begins in a new stage, which is the execution phase. We’re putting our foot on the accelerator to do the constructions because this year we will invest more than 7,000 million soles in this matter”.
This amount of money will cover the construction of more than 37,600 households and will help the start of 5,000 studies oriented to develop important infrastructure projects, as well as solve possible problems in the future regarding river overflowing.
El Niño Costero is a natural phenomenon that affected Peru and Ecuador in 2016 and 2017. It consisted of an anomalous heating of the sea near the shores of these countries. The warming produces humidity that produces intense rains causing flooding, overflowing of rivers, and alluviums that affected several towns.
