On June 28, 2026, the National Service of Prevention and Response to Disasters (Senapred) issued early preventive alerts for several communes across three regions of Chile—Coquimbo, Atacama, and Antofagasta—due to strong winds forecasted by the Chilean Meteorological Directorate (DMC). In the Coquimbo region, eight communes were placed under alert, effective from Sunday, June 28, until conditions improve. The DMC predicted wind speeds ranging from 50 to 70 km/h in the mountains during July. In the Atacama region, five communes received similar alerts starting June 27, with wind forecasts reaching up to 100 km/h on July 2. In Antofagasta, two separate alerts were active, covering different periods and areas, with wind speeds expected between 25 and 100 km/h depending on location and time. These alerts aim to enhance monitoring and preparedness for potential risks associated with the weather conditions.
