On 2026-09-01, Emcali (Empresas Municipales de Cali) said it would deploy operational staff across its service area in Cali, Colombia, for maintenance work on water, energy, and sewage infrastructure, including modernization, leak repairs, and cleaning. ^[1] Effective Tuesday, September 1, 2026, Cali resumes its standard weekly vehicle rotation schedule for the 'pico y placa' restriction. ^[2] The Mobility Secretariat of Cali announced on September 1, 2026, that a special emergency vehicle restriction has ended. ^[3] The earthquake that struck Cali, Colombia on 2026-08-10 has left many families who lost everything, while thousands more suffered partial damage to homes and businesses, including cracks, roof damage, and damaged pipes and internal networks. ^[4] Emcali said it would make pipe repairs and fix leaks on the water network in the Cali neighborhoods of El Jardín (carrera 31 # 26 B 55), La Independencia (carrera 42 # 28 - 01), El Guabal (calle 14 # 40 A 17), Las Américas (carrera 12 A # 42 - 89), Santa Teresita (carrera 2 A # 11 Oeste 59 and carrera 2 Bis # 12 Oeste 31), and the Acopi industrial sector (calle 15 # 32 - 234). ^[5] Some walls in Cali buildings have lost stability and other deterioration that, while not making buildings uninhabitable, may pose risks and costs difficult for many families to assume. ^[6] The author argues that the diagnosis must continue to identify physical, economic, and patrimonial damage at all levels and determine mechanisms to help those who, without losing everything, suffered losses they cannot afford to repair. ^[7] The earthquake caused invisible economic impacts: not only did merchants whose establishments closed lose income, but also domestic workers who worked by the day in now-uninhabitable homes, and those who depended economically on activities interrupted by the earthquake. ^[8]
