'El Consulado de Honduras en Miami estará en alerta permanente para apoyar a los hondureños que sean afectados por el paso del huracán Dorian', anunció la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores a través de un comunicado.
Las autoridades hondureñas recordaron que 26 condados de Florida fueron declarados en emergencia ante la llegada del fenómeno, que tenían prevista para el lunes 2 de septiembre, pero que se atrasó, desviándose también un poco de la ruta inicial trazada.
El huracán Dorian se debilitó este martes a categoría 2 mientras sigue azotando Bahamas, pero el Centro Nacional de Huracanes de Estados Unidos informó que, aunque los vientos se han debilitado, se prevé que la tormenta siga siendo peligrosa los siguientes días.
Por su parte, las autoridades del noreste de Florida exhortan a la gente a mantenerse alejada de las playas debido a las posibles marejadas que provocaría Dorian.
Merece apuntar que el 15% de los hondureños en Estados Unidos residen en Florida, siendo el segundo estado con más catrachos, solo superado por Texas, según análisis al Censo de EEUU.
Números de emergencia
Ante la amenaza, el gobierno de Honduras anunció la habilitación de la línea (305) 925-0796 para los compatriotas en Florida mientras dura la emergencia. Igualmente, el Consulado en Miami pone a disposición un equipo para atender mensajes vía redes sociales.
Como los expertos proyectan que los estados de Carolina del Norte y del Sur podrían resultar afectados, el Consulado de Honduras en Atlanta también habilitará el número 470-663-3301.
Igualmente, los hondureños en Florida pueden llamar a cualquiera de las líneas habilitadas por la División de Gestión de Emergencias de acuerdo al condado donde habitan.
