The head of government urged to look for alternatives and drainage mechanisms to prevent future flooding of rivers and streams from significantly damaging crops and nearby communities.

Precisely the damage to the agricultural sector is one of the fundamental consequences left by Eta, with some 800 hectares of plantain affected, in addition to cassava, sweet potato, pumpkin and corn, and the loss of tobacco seed beds.

The tropical storm also caused damages to 287 houses, nine of which nine totally collapsed and the rest partially, expected to be recovered in the rest of the year.
