Yamila Brítez

Yamila Brítez is a concerned citizen and activist from San Lorenzo, who gained attention for her efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of flooding in the Tayazuapé area. On June 5, 2025, she shared a video on social media highlighting the life-threatening conditions caused by flooding, particularly around local schools. Despite her warnings and the promises made by local authorities, including the mayor, Felipe Salomón, the situation remained dire, culminating in a tragic incident where a child was swept away by the floodwaters. Brítez's advocacy underscores the critical need for improved infrastructure and response to extreme weather events in her community.
