VERAPAZ, El Salvador — Civil defense officials in El Salvador have raised the death toll from rain-triggered floods and mudslides to 124, with another 60 people missing. Government Minister Humberto Centeno, who heads the Civil Protection agency, says the rising toll and President Mauricio Funes’ declaration of a national emergency “changes the panorama” and means state officials will take a greater role in rescue and recovery efforts. The government’s previous toll had been 91 dead and 60 missing, with 7,000 homes damaged.
