Fidel Moreno explained that all government institutions are responding to the alert, there are two thousand servers that are already activated together with 17 Command Posts in Managua to monitor any situation that occurs in the 57 critical points that still remain in the city .

“In the Germán Pomares neighborhood we have a project that aims to eradicate one of the critical points, where we have forty families who are directly exposed to the overflow of the channel and as long as the channel is not completed, that exposure is still active and therefore we have to be aware ”.
