Panama isytihar darurat akibat gempa bermagnitud 7.5
Pengisytiharan keadaan darurat bagi memastikan agensi kerajaan sentiasa bersiap siaga dan mempunyai sumber diperlukan untuk membantu penduduk terjejas.
A magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck Panama on Friday, causing significant damage to homes, schools, healthcare facilities, roads, and public buildings across the country. The disaster prompted Panama to declare a state of emergency on Saturday, as reported by Xinhua. Presidential advisor Juan Carlos Orillac stated during a press conference at the presidential palace that the declaration would ensure government agencies remain always on standby and have the necessary resources to assist affected communities.
He added that President Jose Raul Mulino ordered the establishment of a coordination body to oversee relief operations, manage resources, and address the needs of the devastated communities. The government also set up a donation center, including at Omar Park in Panama City, and regional government offices became additional collection points.
Authorities in Panama continue to assess the extent of the damage and coordinate emergency response efforts.
