President Luís Guillermo Solís and government agencies shared their million-dollar estimates for the price of repairs after touring through areas hit by Hurricane Otto.
Hurricane Otto left behind a dramatic amount of damage, especially on Costa Rica's Northern Zone, where towns like Bijagua, Alajuela now look to rebuild.
Government agencies, animal rights groups and private companies will receive donations over the weekend to assist a large number of stranded animals currently at shelters and others that remain in evacuated areas after the passage of Hurricane Otto.
The death toll from Hurricane Otto in Costa Rica has increased from four to nine, President Luis Guillermo Solís announced Friday. Solís declared three days of mourning.
Officials from the Public Works and Transport Ministry estimate that Otto caused damage on 150 roads accounting for some ₡4,734 million ($8.4 million).
President Luis Guillermo Solís ordered a halt to non-essential government services on Thursday and Friday, ahead of the landfall in Costa Rica of Hurricane Otto expected to occur Thursday morning.
