Overview
- Pampamarca was cut off on Sunday after a new slide at the Chipito sector blocked the sole access road, leaving vehicles stranded, the mayor confirmed.
- Municipal crews used a front loader to clear debris and restore limited passage, with longer-term repair needs still unresolved.
- Toro, Quechualla, and Alca reported blocked routes and clogged irrigation systems that threaten planting and local food supplies.
- Regional emergency teams and municipal brigades are conducting EDAN damage assessments to prioritize heavy machinery deployment and humanitarian aid.
- Chipito is a chronically unstable zone, and a tunnel intended to bypass it has been stalled since 2021, leaving communities exposed during heavy rains.
