Pattern: 252 related Venezuela signals in the last 30 days on Earthquake aftermath, Debris removal, Reconstruction, Forensic engineering.
What would change the assessment
- If the Venezuelan government does not complete debris removal in La Guaira within one year from the earthquakes (by June 2026), the estimate of 260 days will be proven inaccurate. (within 365 days — Official government reports, news coverage of debris removal completion)
- If the government does not deliver the promised 25,000 new homes by the end of the year (December 2025), the reconstruction promise will be unmet. (within 120 days — Government housing delivery announcements, news reports)
