As every day, the mayor Francisco Azcué was at the Emergency Operations Center where he thanked and congratulated each of the people who are directly and indirectly involved in the situation that the city is going through due to the rising of the Uruguay River.
Once again, the Mayor asked the community for calm, especially in these coming hours when maximum flood levels are expected, which is why efforts and resources have been redoubled to provide responses and address the demands arising from the community.
