AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Earthquake Response: Colombia’s new government is under pressure as rescuers race to find survivors after a 7.4 quake in the west killed at least 250 and left thousands missing, with aid agencies stressing the first 48–72 hours and local teams still pulling people from rubble in Cali, Pereira, Manizales and Quibdó. Emergency Powers & Economy: The finance ministry says Colombia may declare an economic emergency to speed up spending and tax decrees without Congress, as the disaster strains budgets and complicates promised austerity. Logistics & Connectivity: Claro is offering 2 GB of free data plus unlimited calls and texts for seven days to prepaid users in quake-hit departments, while network teams work to stabilize service after outages. Food & Trade Disruption: Coffee exports are largely halted because roads and the main Pacific port access are disrupted, with trucks in short supply and terminal operations limited. Aid Coordination: Colombia asked for supplies rather than foreign rescue teams, even as multiple countries offered specialized help; meanwhile, diaspora groups in the U.S. are organizing shipments of food, medical goods and tents. Safety & Compliance: A Florida-based healthcare firm faced backlash after a manager was filmed warning staff not to leave during the quake, triggering calls for labor intervention.
