Jerónimo Merino
Jerónimo Merino, a 69-year-old resident of El Tigre, has faced significant challenges due to the recurring flooding from the La Camarona River, which inundated his home in March 2023. To safeguard his family during the rainy season, he constructed an elevated wooden house nearby, where they can store their belongings and seek refuge in case of emergencies. His experiences have made him acutely aware of the dangers posed by heavy rainfall, and he actively participates in community discussions about flood preparedness.
