Hurricane / The opinion of journalist Ernesto Reyes

ERNEST REYES
The devastating passage of Hurricane "Paulina" in 1997 is still fresh in the memory of thousands of Oaxacans. Its indelible wounds, of pain and death, have taken several years to heal, in terms of reconstruction, because the emergency declarations were a bottomless barrel through which enormous amounts of money were leaking. It is no news to anyone that the disappeared FONDEN turned corrupt public servants who have passed through agencies such as the DIF, Civil Protection and Caminos y Aeropistas de Oaxaca into nouveau riche, to name a few. But he also increased the fortunes of municipal presidents and partisan operators who profited from the pain of others.
The high cost is remembered now that the magnitude two hurricane Agatha savagely hit hundreds of poor families. The evaluations of the economic, social, health and educational infrastructure must include medium-sized merchants, farmers, tourist service providers and inhabitants of the most remote ranches. More than two weeks later, 38 municipalities have been declared emergency and disaster zones.
As on the 10th, this Friday, June 17, the President of the Republic had to present the comprehensive plan and resources for the recovery of roads, schools, health centers, as well as the reconstruction of hundreds of homes. For this, he arranged for federal agencies to carry out infrastructure actions and deliver goods. The delivery is direct to the municipal authorities for the reconstruction of bridges and local roads, with the support of the population, eliminating the intermediaries, because along the way many of the supports vanish. Their presence, to give order and speed, is of vital importance because neither the state government nor the municipalities have the budgets to respond effectively.
Before May 30, when it hit the ground, the political class, entertained to see who would get the governorship, looked sideways at the threat. At least nine people would die and six would remain as disappeared. Official reports, from civil society and social organizations mentioned a large number of isolated populations, due to destroyed bridges and drinking water networks, without electricity and telephone power, swollen rivers and streams, landslides and a considerable agricultural disaster.
Damage was identified in municipalities such as Pluma Hidalgo, Santiago Xanica (the Loxicha area), Santa María Tonameca, San Pedro Pochutla, San Mateo Piñas and the Ozolotepec micro-region. Facilities of the support organization for children with disabilities, Piña Palmera, were destroyed. The strong winds and the pluvial floods hindered mobility, food supply and the actions of the DN III Plan implemented by the Army, the Navy and state corporations. The downpours spread to the Chontal and Zapotec areas of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
On the other hand, Agatha revealed the poor and marginalized Oaxaca that hides behind the official publicity about beach destinations, the Guelaguetza and the magical towns. There were exposed the infamous conditions in which the existence of thousands of families develops that, were it not for the Welfare programs, they would not have the minimum to get ahead.
Unlike "Paulina", when communication was carried out by conventional means, Agatha showed the effectiveness of social networks, although the power and telephone signal outages made it impossible to know immediately the levels of devastation. In order to channel aid, they fulfilled a very important function, disseminating the collection centers set up by civil society and the authorities in this capital and other places. Regional radio, particularly on the coast, played a relevant role, although some stations suffered the fall of their transmission towers, a situation that the reporters resolved with real-time transmissions via digital platforms.
The presence of López Obrador, in the affected area, reactivates hope for the thousands of victims and drives away the robber. We hope that the brigades, in charge of the Welfare Secretariat, have carried out the census of those affected with professionalism and social sensitivity and that no one is excluded.

The halls and rooms with thatched roofs were left unusable.
Hurricane Agatha wiped out 90 percent of the facilities of Piña Palmera, a civil organization located in Zipolite, Oaxaca, which provides care to more than 500 people with disabilities from indigenous communities in the state.
Volunteers and collaborators of the center carry out cleaning and rubble work every day, after halls and rooms were left under the mud and completely uninhabitable. In addition, they do not have electricity or drinking water.
Flavia Anau, general coordinator of Piña Palmera, lamented that, in five hours, this meteorological phenomenon brought down the work of nearly four decades of the organization, which carries out rehabilitation and inclusion work in towns on the coast and the southern highlands of Oaxaca. .
“He destroyed 38 years of work in a few moments. It threw everything away, it knocked down houses, it took what was inside, all the work supplies, speaking of the simplest ones, such as mattresses, beds, fans, refrigerators, all the pedagogical area that we also had; took everything, everything, everything.
“90 percent of our facilities were damaged. We live in a hot place, the roofs are made of palm, most of the roofs were damaged, the house was completely destroyed and obviously the structures of the houses were full of mud, so we have to remove it, ”she said.
Paulina Montañez, a collaborator of the organization, narrated that the workshops and centers for minors and adults with disabilities were unusable. Books, toys and therapy material for children with this condition were also lost.
“This is the central work of Piña, we have every Wednesday an activity called early intervention, where boys and girls come, and it is a process of learning through play. Sign language is taught, dance… they learn through play.
“All our work material is lost; In the toy library we had books and games, and 80 percent or even a little more is lost. The water rose about a meter and a half, so the books, the toys and the paintings, everything was lost”, she lamented.
Flavia Anau explained that at this time Piña Palmera cannot operate, so the process of rehabilitation and inclusion of hundreds of Oaxacans with disabilities and their families was interrupted.
"We are now at a forced march trying to clean up, because we cannot continue with the activities, nor the ones we had here, nor go to the communities, since our transportation was also flooded," Anau said.
"We need hands"
Antonio Martínez Pacheco, who uses a wheelchair, arrived at Piña Palmera eight years ago without speaking or looking after himself. After receiving therapies and rehabilitation at the center, today he is an independent person and is in charge of the store, where they sell products made by volunteers and collaborators.
Toño acknowledged that he feels sad seeing Piña Palmera practically destroyed by Agatha's passage. “A lot of things were lost,” he declared.
On the day of the hurricane's impact, on May 30, Antonio and three other people with physical disabilities were trapped in this center. Their rescue was made possible by volunteers taking them out in a tub.
Flavia Anau, who estimated that Piña Palmera will be rehabilitated in approximately six months, recognized that there is a lack of personnel to carry out the cleaning and removal tasks, for which she requested the collaboration of the Army and the Navy. “We need a lot of hands,” she assured.
They also require financial help, since the repair costs amount to 4 million pesos. Those interested can donate to the account 09400502588, in the name of CAI Piña Palmera A.C. of Scotiabank Inverlat 044.
They estimate that the reconstruction of the property will take at least six months and cost at least 4 million pesos.
