While the PM has made note that the San Ignacio Santa Elena Mayor Earl Trapp will be included in the damage relief funds, Trapp gave us more insight today on some of the observations he made while cleaning up the market this afternoon.
Earl Trapp, Mayor, San Ignacio
"Well, I can tell you that when it comes to infrastructure, the streets, drains, culverts, I think it's going to be something very high. And hence, the reason I've called on the CEO and the Ministry of Infrastructure Development and, of course, the Minister responsible for this area to pool the resources with the Council and to see how we can restore our towns to where it was before the storm started about two months ago."
"But certainly, many of our streets are broken up, culverts got washed away, streets need to be rebuilt, so it certainly will require a big support. And we are hoping that the Prime Minister will support the different municipalities because it's not only San Ignacio and Santa Elena, but all the other municipalities that have been suffering from water over the past eight weeks."
