El Salvador minister will estimate cost of storm clean-up for Agatha

Wednesday, June 9, 2010


The cleanup after tropical storm Agatha will cost $20 million, the nation's minister of public works, Gerson Martínez said.

Martinez told public television that the ministry had already deployed 600 of its employees across the country.

The figure of $20 million was based on the costs of the cleanup work for Hurricane Ida, which hit Nicaragua, El Salvador and the United States in November last year.
