Following the earthquake that struck Colombia on Monday, August 10, 2026, the nation's Office of the Attorney General (Fiscalía General de la Nación) confirmed the establishment of two designated locations in Valle del Cauca to facilitate the return of victims' bodies to their families.
Announced on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 12, 2026, the specialized assistance points were set up in the municipalities of Palmira and Tuluá. This operational adjustment became necessary after the regional Legal Medicine (Medicina Legal) facilities were impacted by the seismic event.
The measures are part of the ongoing emergency response efforts following the disaster, aimed at providing coordinated logistical support and streamlining the identification and release process for bereaved relatives in the affected region.
