CLThe red alert for flooding has been expanded to 11 communes in the Ñuble region of Chile. The National Service for Disaster Prevention and Response (Senapred) updated the alert on Sunday, covering Yungay, Pemuco, Bulnes, Quillón, Chillán, Ránquil, Portezuelo, Coelemu, Trehuaco, Ninhue, and San Nicolás. This decision followed reports from the Water Directorate (DGA) indicating that the hydrological station at PCF Río Itata in Puente Coelemu had reached a red threshold. The alert was coordinated with the Regional Presidential Delegation of Ñuble to ensure all available resources are mobilized to address the severity of the situation. The yellow alert remains active for Pinto, Coihueco, and Chillán Viejo. The emergency began on July 31 when the river Lonquén station in Trehuaco initially reached a yellow threshold, later escalating to a red alert for several communes. On August 1, the alert was extended to Quillón after both the Lonquén River and Coyanco Stream stations reached red levels. The latest update, issued on Sunday at 2:07 PM, added six more communes due to changes recorded at the Río Itata station in Puente Coelemu.
