Venezuela earthquake: where to find help and how to support La Guaira
By HabitaOne Team
On June 24, 2026, two earthquakes struck north-central Venezuela seconds apart. La Guaira was among the hardest-hit areas. All of us at HabitaOne stand with the families who lost a loved one, a home, or their peace of mind, and we're sharing the one thing worth publishing right now: the links to ask for and offer help.
This is not a real-estate guide. It's a public-service page. We're not trying to be the relief hub —that work is carried by organizations, hospitals, and volunteers with far more capacity than we have— but to point you toward the verified resources that already exist, gathered in one place so you don't have to search for them in the middle of an emergency.
Before you continue
If you're in an affected area and need immediate help, contact your local emergency services first. The links below are meant to guide you toward support resources; they do not replace an emergency call.
Where to find help
We've gathered relief links from recognized organizations here, organized by need. They all point to official sources; when in doubt, always prioritize local emergency channels first.
Search for or report people
- Restoring Family Links (Red Cross / ICRC): a service to search for and re-establish contact with relatives separated by the earthquake. The ICRC ran an assessment specifically in La Guaira. Start at familylinks.icrc.org or through the Venezuelan Red Cross.
Hospitals and medical care
- Venezuelan Red Cross: coordinating water, health, and care in the affected areas — cruzrojavenezolana.org.
- Direct Relief: supplying medical resources to health centers responding to the emergency — directrelief.org.
Donations (verified organizations)
- Red Cross / IFRC — Venezuela emergency appeal: donate.redcrossredcrescent.org.
- UNICEF: emergency support for children and families — unicef.org.
- Catholic Relief Services (with Caritas Venezuela): shelter, food, water, and medical care — crs.org/donate/venezuela-earthquake.
Psychological support
- Teams from the Venezuelan Red Cross and its partner organizations provide psychosocial support as part of the response. Check current care points through the Venezuelan Red Cross.
Help us keep this list current
We verify these links against official sources, but the situation changes fast. If a resource no longer applies, or you know of a collection center, a support line, or a verified channel that's missing —including pet-rescue ones— write to us and we'll review it.
At times like these, the most valuable thing we can offer is not a property, but a clear path to the help that already exists.
About properties in the affected area
Many of the listings published on HabitaOne in La Guaira and nearby were posted before the earthquake. We cannot confirm the current condition of those homes. That's why, on properties located in the affected area, you'll see a notice reminding you that the information may not reflect today's conditions.
If you're an owner or agent with a listing in the area, we ask that you review and update your property's status whenever you can do so safely. Nothing is more urgent than your well-being.
Where it happened: northern Venezuela's faults
Northern Venezuela sits along the boundary between the Caribbean and South American plates, and much of that motion is taken up by two fault systems. The San Sebastián–El Pilar coastal system runs almost parallel to the north-central coast, very close to La Guaira and Caracas; the Boconó Fault cuts diagonally down through the Andes and joins the coastal system near where the June 2026 earthquake struck, off Morón. The map below places both faults and that day's two epicenters. It's reference information, not a precise survey.
Standing with you
At HabitaOne we stand in solidarity with every family affected by the recent earthquake in Venezuela. At times like these, unity, empathy, and mutual support make the difference.
If it's within your means, we invite you to visit your nearest collection center to make a donation or offer support to those who need it most. Every contribution, however small it may seem, can bring hope to a family.
Today more than ever, we stand with Venezuela. 💙
