Fortunately, in Ciego de Ávila no loss of lives was reported, despite the strong winds and flooding caused by Tropical Storm Eta as it passed through this province.
The opportune orientations of the Defense Councils, as part of the Early Alert System, minimized damages; however, more than a hundred houses were affected in covers, as well as several schools and some entities.
In agriculture, about 800 hectares of plantains were damaged, as well as nine houses for covered crops, and areas for tomatoes, beans, corn, and sweet potato, among other items, while land preparation for planting food continues to be halted.
Precipitations above 200 millimeters occurred in several locations in Ciego de Ávila, where most of the reservoirs are above their filling capacity, making the hydrological situation complex.
