Flood alert continues as Paraná and Uruguay rivers rise: families evacuated and emergency operations underway

Flooding alerts remain in effect for the Paraná and Uruguay rivers due to rising water levels, prompting emergency operations and the evacuation of affected families. The surge in river volumes is attributed to increased rainfall within the Cuenca del Plata region, a weather pattern linked to the El Niño phenomenon.

Heavy precipitation in Brazil, Misiones, and northeastern Argentina has significantly contributed to the current rise in river levels. Authorities are maintaining emergency protocols to manage the impact of the flooding on local communities.
