Macastre Home Partially Collapses 10 Months After DANA

The town hall has begun emergency stabilization after inspecting the site.

Overview

  • The partial collapse occurred around 10 a.m. on Tuesday in an occupied house, and the family inside was unharmed, according to Mayor Vicente Monto.
  • The property sits in the Cuerna area near the CV-425 corridor that funneled floodwaters during the October 29 event.
  • Monto and the municipal architect visited the home within minutes to assess structural risks.
  • Officials are arranging shoring, preparing temporary housing for the residents, and looking into state aid programs.
  • Local reporting describes this as the first incident involving a dwelling seriously affected by the DANA in the municipality since the barrancada, separate from an earlier illegal riverside case.
