Overview

• An intense downpour of roughly 290–300 millimeters in hours flooded large parts of the town, forcing rescues and evacuations.
• Authorities report about 900 people directly affected, with 53 in public shelters, more than 200 self-evacuated, and around 40% of homes taking on water up to one meter.
• A fuel tanker ran off National Route 8 at the Provincial Route 90 junction, spilled fuel, and temporarily blocked the main access, delaying relief traffic.
• With most households lacking sewer connections, officials are conducting vaccination and disinfection campaigns to reduce contamination risks.
• The communal government is receiving donations at the Centro Cultural Comunal and the Centro de Atención a la Niñez y la Familia, with contributions also accepted via an official bank account.
