It has been a little over a month since two large earthquakes affected northwestern and central Venezuela. The epicenters of both earthquakes were in Veroes Municipality, west of San Felipe, the capital city of Yaracuy. The first earthquake, which measured Mw 7.2, occurred at 18:04 Venezuelan time and was classified as a foreshock. It was followed by a Mw 7.5 mainshock 39 seconds later.  

Carlos Guillén A., Manager, Spanish Communications and Broadcasting, Spanish Radio Play-by-Play Announcer, Detroit Tigers and Press Officer, Team Venezuela, WBC 2026.

Many people and organizations have organized relief efforts for what is described an apocalyptic scene for the areas near the epicenter.  EL CENTRAL Hispanic News reached out to the Detroit Tiger Baseball team with a significant number of Venezuelan players and talent on staff for relief guidance.

  • World Central Kitchen: Chef José Andrés and his crew have been there since day 1 assisting the rescue crew members and the people who lost their homes and now are in refuges. People can donate to them by clicking at donate.wck.org 
  • Wolfgang Peuchert is collecting funds for purchasing surgical supplies for a surgeon who is performing pro bono surgeries to kids that were wounded during the earthquakes. His Zelle information is: wpeuchert@hotmail.com under Wolfgang Peuchert Franzius. Guillen knows Wolfgang personally and can certify the hard work they’re doing down in Venezuela.  They also have the following gift list at Amazon, for those willing to help electronically: https://bit.ly/4bRxA63
  • Papelón Arepa Bar and Papelón Market Café are collecting donations at their locations. Visit www.papelonarepabar.com and www.papelonmarketcafe.com for the location nearest you. 
  • The Home Plate Foundation has organized a community donation drive that will be held on Saturday, August 22, from 2:00–6:00 p.m. at 3100 Rivard St., Detroit, MI 48207. To help cover the transportation costs of sending a semi-truck to Miami loaded with medical supplies and non-perishable food and is supported by a GoFundMe through the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Home Plate Foundation, titled “Venezuela Needs Us!”  Jessica Gutiérrez, the head of the Foundation can be reached at these contacts.   Instagram  @Home_Plate313, or call 313-818-9424.

Terremotos en Venezuela: Formas en que los Detroitenses Pueden Ayudar

Hace poco más de un mes, dos grandes terremotos afectaron el noroeste y centro de Venezuela. Los epicentros de ambos terremotos estuvieron en Veroes Municipality, al oeste de San Felipe, la capital de Yaracuy. El primer terremoto, que midió Mw 7.2, ocurrió a las 18:04 hora de Venezuela y fue clasificado como un sismo precursor. Le siguió un sismo principal de Mw 7.5, 39 segundos después.

EL CENTRAL Hispanic News se comunicó con el equipo de béisbol Detroit Tigers, que tiene un número significativo de jugadores y talento de personal venezolano, para obtener orientación sobre alivio.
