Currently, the General Staffs of the subnational governments are activated as part of the 2023 Rainfall Plan, he explained.

The Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) is articulated with the National Risk Management System, which includes firefighters, members of civil protection, and volunteers.

Over the last 24 hours, the greatest rain-related affectations have taken place in the states of Trujillo, Merida, Zulia, Portuguesa, Barinas, and Carabobo.

The tweet reads, "Río La Yuca undermines the foundations of the bridge on the highway that connects the city of Barinas with the town of Barrancas, in the state of Barinas, Venezuela."

"A lot of rainfall was recorded. Among the affected municipalities are Guanarito, San Genaro and Guanare. However the most affected state was Carabobo," Perez said. 

Eight families in Barinas are in temporary refuge while the affectation of a dam in the Sucre de Zulia municipality was reported. Likewise, in the central region several preventive measures were carried out.
