78 | El Salvador: Damage, Loss, and Needs Assesment In the cases of places that became isolated due to landslides, such as the municipality of Paraíso de Osorio in the Department of La Paz, ANDA used Air Force helicopters as a means of transporting drinking water, which was carried in a special device that contained 20 barrels. IMAGE 28. WATER FOR SHELTERS Source: National Administration of Water Supply and Sewerage (ANDA). Water provision was completed through the adoption of potabilization measures, as well as the installation of means to store water in shelters and the delivery of water tanks to families for water storage under optimum conditions. ANDA rented pipes to serve 36 shelters, a need that is expected to last three months; 10,000-liter plastic tanks were also supplied and installed. It should be noted that in the Municipality of Verapaz, San Vicente, ANDA installed three plastic tanks for drinking water storage. In Verapaz, ANDA put two water potabilization plants into operation; these process water from two artesian wells, one located in Cantón Molineros and the other in the Barrio El Calvario. ANDA also obtained the donation of 30 tanks, with a storage capacity of 4,350 liters, from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The Government of Spain sent 46 mobile water potabilization plants to hard-to-reach sectors. The Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance has participated in overseeing water quality in water supply and basic sanitation networks in shelters and affected zones, as well as in the distribution of purified water and in water disinfection. A survey of water and sanitation conditions in the Department of La Libertad has been conducted. These efforts have been complemented by health promotion and education.
II. POPULATION AND AFFECTED AREAS | 79 IMAGE 29. WATER STORAGE Source: National Administration of Water Supply and Sewerage (ANDA). United Nations agencies participated actively in supporting the national authorities. UNICEF distributed 84,000 bottles of water and purchased 168,000 liters of water; it also delivered 3,500 30-liter containers and 2,700 80-liter containers to the affected areas. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) donated to MSPAS 100,000 tablets for disinfecting water for human consumption in shelters, and delivered 123,300 bottles of water to the affected communities. The Salvadoran Red Cross conducted damage and needs assessments in San Vicente and La Paz. This organization distributed 568 water storage containers, 491 five-liter tanks, and 128,000 liters of water; it also delivered 644 (24-unit) bags of water. World Vision conducted a damage assessment and needs analysis in San Vicente, Tepetitán, San Cayetano and other municipalities. This organization delivered 14,000 tablets for water potabilization and 500 fifty-liter plastic tanks. Added to this was the support of the private company ASTAFI which delivered 1,800 1.5-liter bottles of water. As part of the emergency response, latrines were installed in the shelters. The municipalities assumed the costs of maintaining them. However, there was a gap in latrine requirements for camps, as well as the need to increase the emptying of septic tanks at least once or twice a week. MSPAS, together with PAHO, conducted an identification of the need to install chemical latrines in priority shelters. PAHO rented 100 latrines for one month, for use in shelters in the most affected departments; 50 were installed in Cantón Joya Grande of the Municipality of Santiago Texacuangos. In addition, cleaning and disinfection services were purchased for 50 artesian wells that have been made available for Ministry of Health priorities. With CERF resources, PAHO plans to support the rental of the 100 latrines for an additional month, and to build 100 pit latrines. UNICEF has also planned the construction of latrines. Two weeks after the event, ANDA had repaired most of the 39 pumping stations and pipes damaged in the Para-central and Metropolitan Regions. ANDA’s technical personnel and crews worked 24 hours per day to make these repairs. Crews from the Western and Eastern Regions joined the efforts, providing support in the areas that were most affected. The Armed Forces helped to transport the pipes that are
