Members of Colombia’s immigrant community throughout Queens are grappling with difficulty establishing contact with relatives in the aftermath of a major seismic event that struck the South American nation. The earthquake has left many residents uncertain about the safety and wellbeing of family members across the country.
Phone lines and internet services in affected Colombian regions have been severely disrupted, hampering efforts by New York-based residents to verify the status of their loved ones. The communication breakdown has intensified anxiety among the diaspora community as they await news from their home country.
Local organizations serving Colombia’s expatriate population have begun coordinating information-sharing efforts and support resources for concerned residents seeking updates on their families. Relief agencies continue working to establish contact with affected areas and provide humanitarian assistance to survivors.
