Spokesman of the Communication of the City Municipal de Lorca, Francisco Garcia, has indicated that the city council has officially this morning upon the Government's Office to extend the deadline for submission of grants to subsidize costs associated with damage caused by earthquake on 11 May.

Francisco Garcia has said that the Local Government Committee approved a motion to that effect, which will be forwarded to the Government Office.

Note that this request is based on the occurrence of damage to many buildings that had not been detected before, including the declaration of ruined buildings and the necessary demolition and debris removal.

The motion states that on June 3, 2011 was published in the order BORM INT/1467/2011 number 132 of 31 May, which develops Royal Decree Law 6 / 2011 of 13 May by that urgent action to repair damage caused by earthquakes occurred in Lorca on May 11, 2011, calling for the aid to the town of Lorca for emergency expenses incurred as a result of the actions necessary and can not be postponed to ensure life and safety of persons and operation of essential public services and to recoup the costs it incurred in providing goods or personal services or those individuals or entities have been required by the competent authority in the field of civil protection in the field of State Administration in connection with the emergency, granting the effect within two months from the day following the date of entry into force of that order.

Considering the conclusion of that period the next day, August 4, 2011, and given the unique characteristics of earthquakes occurred in Lorca: a high intensity (VII EMS-98 scale, data IGN), associated with a magnitude of 5 1 Mw. coupled with the shallowness of the earthquake and peak accelerations of 0.41 g (IGN data) recorded in the accelerometer of the old prison of Lorca.

Have made it that much of the damage are yet to be determined in the following months being able to detect new facts that could be included by their characteristics within the eligible costs.

It is therefore, from the point of view of the nature of the earthquake and from the exceptional cases in a particular way to go is it appearing that the city of Lorca proposes an extension of deadlines for specific situations arise.

The agreement approved by the JGL is, literally, to propose to the Government of Spain through the Government Delegation in Murcia an extraordinary extension of the deadline originally set to submit requests for payments under the order INT / 1467/2011 of 31 May for all those cases that are detected on an exceptional post are included in the items covered in the order and are a direct result of earthquakes occurred in the past days Lorca May 11, 2011.
