Víctor Díaz, head of the regional civil protection office, also recommended declaring the town of La Perla uninhabitable (huaral).
“It is recommended that they evacuate, it is necessary because we see that it is an unstable terrain, it is a terrain which, being in permanent contact with water, due to the characteristics of the soil, makes that this whole area is becoming a very high-risk area,” he told the Andean Agency.
