The Chocó departmental government published a territorial assessment at 9:19 p.m. on August 11: 43,178 affected people, 3,199 damaged homes and 468 destroyed homes. The same report records 14 deaths and 139 injuries.
A toll limited to the department
The figures come from a report distributed by the Chocó government’s official account. They describe the department and are not a new national total.
The 14 deaths and 139 injuries must therefore remain attached to that area. They are not added to the UNGRD national toll, which already aggregates territorial data.
43,178 people recorded as affected
The report uses a category of affected people that is distinct from injuries, missing people and displacement. Without a more detailed definition published with the figures, the number should not be treated as any of those other categories.
It nevertheless provides a departmental measure of the population affected and a reference point for shelter, water, food and healthcare needs.
Two different housing conditions
The document distinguishes 3,199 damaged homes from 468 destroyed homes. The categories remain separate because the published material does not explain their exact definitions or possible overlap.
No combined total is therefore calculated. Later structural assessments may still change the figures as municipalities submit their records.
Figures to track over time
The report was published on August 11 at 9:19:42 p.m. Colombia time. That publication time supports the retrospective 9:30 p.m. timeline entry; it is not presented as the time when each instance of damage occurred.
The next markers are updated departmental consolidations, municipal breakdowns and changes involving isolated people, shelter and essential services.
