En un mensaje enviado ayer 15 de agosto a los ciudadanos norteamericanos en Venezuela, la Embajada de los Estados Unidos actualizó su clasificación sobre la seguridad en las distintas zonas de Caracas: Amarilla (más segura), Naranja y Roja (más peligrosa). La clasificación es la siguiente:
-Zona Amarilla: Baruta
-Zona Naranja: Chacao, el Este de Libertador y el Oeste de Sucre.
-Zona Roja: El Oeste del Libertador, el Este de Sucre y zonas populares de Baruta.
Anexo les envío el comunicado de la Embajada en inglés, lamentablemente no lo tengo en español. Allí pueden ver la ubicación de las distintas urbanizaciones de Caracas en la clasificación.
Obviamente esta es sólo la apreciación particular de la Embajada de los Estados Unidos, pero puede darnos una idea de como el cuerpo diplomático acreditado en Venezuela evalúa la seguridad de las distintas zonas de la capital, y las exigencias de protección y cuidado que imponen sobre su personal (horarios restringidos para estar en la calle, uso de vehículos blindados, etc.)
Espero que esta información les sea de utilidad. Y aprovecho la ocasión para ratificarles nuestro compromiso de hacer de Chacao un municipio seguro para todos.

The Embassy’s security office has designated three zones within Caracas for purposes of movement by U.S. citizen Embassy staff within the city: yellow, orange, and red. In this update, the Yellow Zone has shrunk in size, the Orange Zone has grown in size, and the Red Zone remains the same. Please see the neighborhoods included in each zone below. When traveling to and from the Yellow Zone, U.S. personnel are now strongly encouraged to notify the Embassy. When transiting through the Orange Zone between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., U.S. personnel are now required to notify the Embassy when leaving home and when departing the zone. In addition, U.S. personnel must now request armored vehicles for travel in the Orange Zone between 12:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Unofficial visits to the Red Zone remain prohibited, and U.S. personnel are only authorized to transit through the Red Zone on personal business during daylight hours provided they remain on one of the city’s highways.
