National Statistical and Geographic System advances in San Juan parish

Published at: 20/05/2026 06:42 PM

San Juan Parish is the scene of a key breakthrough for the National Statistical and Geographic System. This initiative develops a work directly articulated with the Action Agenda of the Communes.

The plan incorporates risk maps and collects specific data on populations in vulnerable conditions. The main objective of the strategy is the scientific measurement of national reality, together with the constant monitoring of the territory to optimize public management.

The Sectorial Vice President of Planning, Ricardo Menéndez, stressed that the main goal is to forecast for the coming rainy seasons. For this purpose, the system coordinates a collection of information.

He stressed the importance of evaluating causal relationships in the field; for example, the latent danger when garbage accumulates in a stream in the face of an eventual flood of water.

The inhabitants of the area are actively participating in the design of their environmental risk map. This digital and physical tool precisely identifies areas vulnerable to threats such as floods, earthquakes or landslides.

All information collected by neighbors will be immediately added to the general database of the National Statistical and Geographic System for subsequent analysis.

So far, this inter-institutional effort has reached other states in the country: La Guaira, Miranda, Carabobo and Aragua. Under this methodology, technical and community teams are already successfully recording data from nineteen communes. Through these preventive actions, Venezuela adopts structural safeguards in its populated regions before the start of the precipitation cycle.
