Continuing their agenda, ministry representatives met with local officials in Satipo province to assess conditions in areas affected by severe weather and coordinate intervention strategies. A key training session was provided for professionals from Satipo Provincial Municipality, focusing on improving responses to disruptions in sanitation services for communities declared under a state of emergency.
Additionally, at the Norvraem Community headquarters, a working meeting took place with the mayor of Río Tambo district. The group evaluated recorded damages and coordinated actions to assist affected populations, particularly those in native communities.
