La Taña Strengthens Its Community Organization for Risk Prevention and Health Services Management

On October 27, 2026, in the community of La Taña, Uspantán, Quiché, a meeting was held with community leaders to present the community assessment and risk map, tools that collect information on a locality's characteristics, its vulnerability, history of weather events, and capacity to respond to emergencies.

During the event, vinyl posters of the risk map were distributed; these will be displayed in the community hall and the sub-office. Participants were also briefed on how CONRED’s coordination levels function and on the importance of strengthening community organization to prevent and respond to emergencies.

Discussions also took place regarding efforts to build a new health facility in the community. The leaders expressed their concerns about the status of the land requested by the MSPAS and the need for clear information on the project’s requirements and scope.

As part of the discussions, participants emphasized the importance of forming a community committee, strengthening local capacities, and establishing partnerships that would allow for monitoring health infrastructure projects and ensure that the population’s needs are met.
