What to do if it shakes again? 

What happened

Two earthquakes, not one. On June 24, 2026, at 18:04 Venezuela time, a magnitude 7.2 quake struck about 20 km east of San Felipe (Yaracuy). Seconds later (32, according to the origin times published by the USGS) came the second, magnitude 7.5, about 20 km west of Catia La Mar (La Guaira). Both were shallow, about 10 km deep according to the USGS.[1][2]

The fault. According to the USGS tectonic summary, they were right-lateral strike-slip ruptures on the San Sebastián fault system, which runs along the central coast, possibly starting at the eastern end of the Boconó fault. The rupture was about 175 km long and 20 km wide. The USGS rated both quakes red on its PAGER alert system, with a maximum intensity of IX. There was a small tsunami: 4 cm in Puerto Rico and 2 cm in Martinique.[2]

Why La Guaira was hit hardest. La Guaira lay a few kilometres from the second epicentre. Caracas Chronicles explained the damage by the combination of soft sediments, which amplify shaking, and homes built on steep slopes.[2][6]

It is still shaking. FUNVISIS counted 2,099 aftershocks and quakes between June 24 and September 24; in the week of September 18 to 24 alone there were 136, of magnitudes between 1.3 and 4. The USGS forecast issued on September 28 for the following month gives an 11% chance of an aftershock of magnitude 5 or more, 1% of one of 6 or more and less than 1% of one of 7 or more. The USGS warns that aftershocks do not get smaller over time: what drops is how often they happen.[3][4][5]

    The Government says it has delivered 709 new homes and rehabilitated about 1,800. Its goal is 4,000 by the end of the year. The same day, the USGS publishes its aftershock forecast for the following month.[3][26]

The State's response

The Government accepted international aid, including from the United States, and has delivered homes, cleared rubble and reopened the airport. The documents show how much of what was announced has been done and how the emergency was handled.[18][21][26]

What was announced and what was delivered

  • New homes

    Announced
    4,000 by the end of the year
    Delivered or published
    709 as of September 28 (about 18% of the goal), according to the Government itself; plus about 1,800 rehabilitated. The IOM report of September 23 records 335 new homes delivered[11][26]

  • Housing measures

    Announced
    48 announcements
    Delivered or published
    Of the 47 with a known status, 9 (19%) report execution, according to Transparencia Venezuela[28]

  • «Venezuela Renace» fund

    Announced
    Loans and subsidies to buy homes
    Delivered or published
    We found no public report on how it has been spent[24][28]

  • Platform to track donations

    Announced
    Announced in July
    Delivered or published
    Not published[23]

  • Number of missing people

    Announced
    157 on June 25
    Delivered or published
    The national figure was not updated, according to Provea. In La Guaira, the governor estimated 1,579 missing on August 4, according to Amnesty International[13][14][35]

What organizations and media documented

The first 48 hours. According to Transparencia Venezuela's gap analysis, at 48 hours the State had mobilized 34.6% of the force it eventually deployed, and its peak (31,837 personnel) came on day 18. 83% of the rescues by organized teams happened in those first 48 hours. Of the 19,861 people who survived, between 13,400 and 13,500 did so by getting themselves out or through local rescue.[27]

Digging by hand. Experts consulted by AP described a slow response, volunteers digging with their hands and firefighters without fuel. People interviewed by Amnesty International said the authorities' response was “late and poorly coordinated”.[33][35]

The press, by accreditation. Espacio Público documented that access to La Guaira was restricted at night, that official accreditation was required and that correspondents could only enter on official buses.[29]

Collection centres. NTN24 aired a video in which police officers say that “only the mayor's office and the PSUV are authorized” to receive donations, and reported that collection centres of an opposition party were dismantled. Emol and The Washington Post gathered complaints from rescuers and volunteers who were prevented from working or delivering aid.[30][31][32]

Rights. The Human Rights Observatory of the University of Los Andes counted at least seven rights violated, including restrictions on aid brigades, censorship and blocking of NGO websites, as cited by Ruta de la Ayuda.[34]

Shelters and NGOs. Amnesty International documented that permission to work in shelters depended on each organization's relationship with the authorities, and that the law regulating NGOs limited their ability to help. The New Humanitarian reported customs delays and orders to halt aid programmes.[35][36]

What we could not confirm

Some claims are circulating that we found no documents to support. We list them so they are not repeated as fact.

  • It is not true that the Government turned down international aid: it accepted it, including from the United States.[21]
  • We found no evidence that aid was made conditional on the Carnet de la Patria (the government's Homeland Card). The Patria system was used to register people and pay allowances; what is documented is control of collection centres by the mayor's office and the ruling party.[30][40]
  • We found no documented evidence that aid was stolen or diverted. Transparencia Venezuela documents a lack of accountability: for at least 44% of the announced actions, it is not said where the aid goes.[28]
  • It is not true that nothing was delivered: homes have been handed over and aid has been verified, although far short of what was announced.[26][41]

Who took advantage

  • Reported price hikes

    September 21, 2026

    The La Guaira Real Estate Chamber reported rising purchase and rental prices for homes in the hardest-hit areas, and gave as an example a property that cost US$70,000 before June 24 and is now offered at US$150,000. The ceiling on loans for quake victims is US$100,000.[37][38]

  • Officers detained

    July 1, 2026

    The State announced the detention of four CICPC officers over reports that they stole money from victims in the rubble.[22]

  • Looting

    June 25, 2026

    El Nacional reported looting of shops damaged by the earthquakes in La Guaira.[20]

  • Fake bonuses

    July 2, 2026

    Announcements of “bonuses” for quake victims circulated on Facebook and on an unofficial Telegram channel, with amounts the Patria system had not published. Bloomberg Línea verified they were false.[40]

  • Donation scams

    July 8, 2026

    The New York Attorney General warned about donation scams for Venezuela and explained how to give safely. We found no documented count of scams inside the country.[39]

International aid

Ruta de la Ayuda, Transparencia Venezuela's tracker, records every pledge announced by governments, agencies, companies and individuals, and follows it until it is delivered. According to that tracker, only 21 of the 48 donor governments report their aid to the UN's financial tracking service.[41]

The United States pledged more than US$300 million, channelled through Caritas and Catholic Relief Services, the World Food Programme, UNICEF, IOM and the UN pooled fund, without going through the Venezuelan State.[34][41]

The UN asked for an additional US$299 million for the earthquake, bringing its 2026 humanitarian plan to US$931 million; as of August 27 it was 43.1% funded, according to OCHA. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies launched an appeal for 50 million Swiss francs.[10][17]

What about Lara?

What to do if it shakes again?Before, during and after an earthquake: a practical guide for Cabudare and Barquisimeto.Go to the guide 

Felt strongly, no damage reported. On the night of June 24, Protección Civil Lara reported that no deaths, injuries or infrastructure damage had been recorded in the state that day; it was a first assessment, made hours after the quakes. It also carried out controlled evacuations of vulnerable buildings. Lara is not among the affected states in UN reports.[10][42]

How hard it shook here. According to the USGS ShakeMap model, the first quake, the magnitude 7.2, produced an estimated intensity of VI in Barquisimeto and Cabudare (strong, light damage possible); the second, the 7.5, of V (moderate). These are model estimates, not measurements on every street.[1][2][54]

We live on a fault. Barquisimeto and Cabudare are crossed by branches of the Boconó fault, and the sediments of the Turbio valley amplify shaking. The seismic microzoning of both cities, carried out between 2005 and 2009, studied how the ground responds in each area.[43]

It has happened before. On March 26, 1812, an earthquake of estimated magnitude 7.1 destroyed Barquisimeto, killing about 1,000 people. El Tocuyo suffered quakes of estimated magnitude 6.8 in 1674 and 6 in 1870, and in 1894 there was another of magnitude 7.[44]

El Tocuyo, 1950: two figures. The August 3, 1950 quake in El Tocuyo, of estimated magnitude between 6.3 and 6.9, left 17 dead and 80 injured according to La Prensa de Lara; FUNVISIS gives 8 dead, 60 injured and 250 houses destroyed. Both figures are published; we do not know which is correct.[44][45]

Building right. Venezuela's current seismic building code is COVENIN 1756-1:2019. Experts cited by AP blamed part of June's damage on old buildings and poor construction.[46][47]
