Especialistas estadounidenses de Búsqueda y Rescate Urbano (USAR) visitaron la Asamblea Nacional de Panamá para evaluar posibles daños estructurales tras el terremoto del 9 de octubre.
Esta visita forma parte de una respuesta más amplia de Estados Unidos, que incluye el despliegue de 20 especialistas USAR que trabajan junto a las autoridades panameñas para evaluar también hospitales, iglesias y edificios gubernamentales en distintas partes del país, incluidas las zonas más afectadas de Coclé, Veraguas y Los Santos.
Bajo el liderazgo del presidente Trump, Estados Unidos ha comprometido $5 millones en asistencia humanitaria y desplegado equipos especializados y apoyo aéreo para ayudar a Panamá en sus esfuerzos de respuesta y recuperación.
USA-01 structural specialists assessed three key sites in Panama: Basílica Menor Jesús Nazareno de Atalaya, Escuela Normal de Panamá, and a fire station in Santiago, where we traded tokens of appreciation with our Panamanian brothers and sisters.
@StateDept @USForeignAssist
USA-01 continues supporting Panama after last week’s earthquake as part of the @StateDept response w/ structural assessments of critical infrastructure like hospitals, water treatment facilities & schools. Getting essential services back online is key to recovery.

[1/3] The Trump Administration has mobilized an immediate response to the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Panama on October 9. Following the earthquake, @StateDept is committed to providing $5 million in humanitarian assistance to support trusted on the ground implementers conducting relief efforts.
Within 18 hours of the earthquake in Panama, the members of USA-01 were on the ground and beginning to assist. Joined by members of USA-02 from @LACOFD and supported by @jtfbravo, they are now moving to the affected areas to support the response.
