The GOV reported that Venezuela has sufficient food supplies for the next 60 days. Airports serving Caracas remain closed to commercial flights. Latin American commercial carriers are flying into Maracaibo and Valencia. Many roads and bridges were damaged or destroyed, and flooding and landslides isolated numerous communities.
Roads remain closed between Caracas and La Guaira, except to humanitarian traffic.
The Port of La Guaira is expected to reopen in mid January. According to the GOV, almost 8,600 people are working on search and rescue efforts. As of December 22, there are 45 helicopters flying rescue missions in country, including U.S. military helicopters. On December 23, the DART leader performed assessments in the states of Falcon and Miranda. Aerial assessments of Boca, Tucacas, and Chichi Rivichi in Falcon indicate the water has not yet receded in these low-lying areas, thus inhibiting landing of aircraft.
