The investigation focused on nine urban areas in La Guaira named after the OPPPE.

16 out of 43 buildings (37%) completely collapsed during the earthquakes.

Technical evaluation revealed structural flaws, improper column design, and inadequate use of materials led to the failures.

The claims, made testable

• asserted — check unavailable The investigation focused on nine urban areas in La Guaira named after the OPPPE. (evidence: not measured)
• asserted — check unavailable 16 out of 43 buildings (37%) completely collapsed during the earthquakes. (evidence: not measured)

Pattern: 40 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Disaster Management, Housing Infrastructure, Construction Irregularities.

What would change the assessment

• The identified structural flaws and non-compliance with building codes were not present during the construction phase. (within 3650 days — Official building permits/inspection records for OPPPE projects)
• The reported damage levels (16 collapsed buildings) are inconsistent with official government disaster reports. (within 90 days — Official Venezuelan disaster damage assessments (Protección Civil))
