Chocó Governor Nubia Carolina Córdoba-Curi says a family of four reported missing has been found safe. The public confirmation ends uncertainty for this specific group, but does not by itself change other missing-person figures.

Four people confirmed safe

The governor did not publish their names or municipality of origin. She said the four family members had managed to get out at the time of the earthquake and had remained without communication.

Sheltered with the XV Army Brigade

According to the official message, the family is now sheltered with the XV Army Brigade. No medical details or specific needs were released.

Time of confirmation, not time of discovery

The governor published the information on August 12 at 11:32:54 a.m. The exact time when the family was found was not provided, so the timeline uses the official confirmation time.

Information limited to this family

The Chocó government relayed the announcement at 11:49:45 a.m. This positive development concerns four people identified by authorities as one family and does not allow other missing-person lists to be recalculated.
