Brief
Transport Minister Francisco Garcés said authorities have inspected 51,124 buildings following the two earthquakes that struck Venezuela on June 24. Garcés, who also leads the presidential commission assessing whether infrastructure remains habitable, reported on X that 58% of the properties evaluated received a green classification. The update did not provide a geographic breakdown, identify the types of buildings inspected, or detail the status of the remaining properties.
The inspection program provides an initial measure of the earthquakes’ potential effect on Venezuela’s building stock. The high inspection count signals a broad assessment effort, but the absence of data on other classifications, repair requirements and affected locations prevents investors from estimating reconstruction costs or operational disruption.
