Guatemala
Ends
State of
Emergency
Guatemala
-Guatemala
lifted
the
state of
calamity
it
adopted
in 2010
to cope
with the
destruction
caused
by
several
natural
disasters,
although
reconstruction
continues,
said
Press
Secretary
Ronaldo
Robles.
A spell
of
storms,
floodings
and the
eruption
in late
May of
the
Pacaya
volcano
forced
the
government
of
President
Alvaro
Colom to
adopt
this
measure
and
extend
it eight
consecutive
times.
The
inclimency
of the
weather
left
more
than
$1.5
billion
in
losses,
274 dead
and
damaged
700,000
people.
