The mayor of Venezuela's capital reported that at least five people died due to heavy rains that hit Caracas over the past two weeks. The president of the Municipal Council of the Venezuelan capital, Admiral Carmen Meléndez, was responsible for communicating this information.

Carmen Meléndez, who holds the position of president of the Municipal Council of Caracas, played the role of official spokesperson for this tragedy caused by adverse weather conditions. Her position of municipal leadership makes her the primary source of information about the effects of the rains in the city.
