UN OCHA Releases Infographic Mapping Venezuela Earthquake Response
WHY IT MATTERS
The infographic offers a practical tool for agencies to align their actions, reducing duplication and ensuring resources reach affected communities efficiently.
What happened
On 26 August 2026, a significant earthquake struck Venezuela, prompting a coordinated humanitarian effort. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) issued an infographic titled "Quién hace qué y dónde en la respuesta al terremoto" to clarify the roles and geographic focus of responding agencies.
The visual guide lists which organizations are responsible for specific tasks—such as search and rescue, medical assistance, and shelter provision—and indicates the areas where each is operating.
By providing a clear overview, the infographic aims to streamline coordination among national and international actors during the emergency response.
