This is the president’s third visit to the EMNDC in recent days, after the strong impact of heavy rains in Cuba, especially in its western and central regions, the Presidency wrote on Twitter.

On his Twitter account, Diaz-Canel repeated the call on the population and authorities to remain alert about the climatic situation in the region.

The hydrometeorological phenomenon is moving away; but don’t let trust prevail. Yesterday we checked on the situation caused by the current hydrometeorological event in the National Civil Defense General Staff, the head of state pointed out in his message.

Heavy rains on recent days had a significant impact on western and central Cuba, where three people were killed and damage to homes, agriculture and the electrical infrastructure were reported.
