Five months after the ETA and IOTA storms, livelihood actions for affected families are a priority, especially in highly affected departments such as Alta Verapaz and Huehuetenango.

In response to this, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), with the support of Project Concern International (PCI) and the municipality of San Cristobal Verapaz, conducted a household livelihood survey of families displaced by the storms from March 18-24, 2021.

Seven communities were selected in three prioritized municipalities that were affected by the storms and where there are still displaced people, according to information shared by key stakeholders. The prioritized municipalities were San Cristóbal Verapaz (Alta Verapaz), Chiantla (Huehuetenango) and Cuilco (Huehuetenango).
