Cinchona, Alajuela after the EarthquakeApparently people in Costa Rica have now been obligated to give it a chance to container homes: Due to the many homes lost during the past earthquake in Costa Rica, some private entities have donated several containers to be set up as temporary homes, kitchens and laundry rooms in the refuges set up in the Cinchona and Vara Blanca areas.

 

The INCOFER, entity in charge of the Tren Urbano in San Jose, Costa Rica’s only working train, donated a couple of weeks ago 25 containers to be used as temporary homes for some of the families that lost everything in the Poas Earthquake and now it seems that several private companies came together and donated another thirteen containers to be set up as laundry rooms and kitchens in the refuges where there are still several families that have nowhere else to go.

 

Costa Rica has shown that whenever there is trouble everyone has to help and people are actually glad to be of help even hotels in Guanacaste and other companies in the area conducted small donations marathons to send over to the people in need in Alajuela, commercial places donated their earnings and several places set up stands to collect food goods and clothes.

 

It’s been three weeks after the earthquake in Costa Rica and although things are going back to normal very slowly, people are still very scared, especially since after that big one, small earthquakes were felt in Guanacaste and some other areas in the country. Rumors say that people in the OVSICORI are actually expecting a bigger earthquake in the next few weeks but have not released any info to avoid panic. That one I don’t believe, but that only shows that people in Costa Rica are definitely still scared.
