Rehabilitation begins on yellow-tagged homes; red-tagged properties re-evaluated after earthquakes

The Presidential Commission for Infrastructure Habitability Assessment has initiated the second phase of its response protocol for buildings affected by the earthquakes on June 24. This phase focuses on rehabilitating houses classified with yellow tags and conducting technical re-evaluations of structures marked with red tags.

Engineering teams and specialized personnel are now on the ground, implementing priority measures to ensure the structural stability of the affected properties. This includes preventive shoring of columns, beams, and concrete slabs to enhance safety during repair work.

Simultaneously, crews are working on the assessment, repair, and restoration of damaged masonry walls. They are also addressing concrete elements showing cracks or moderate damage. For buildings with red tags, a second evaluation will determine if they can be repaired or if demolition is necessary due to severe structural compromise.

The commission detailed these actions through its official communication channels, emphasizing the systematic approach to addressing the earthquake's impact on housing.
