In Guyana, the prefect activates the Orsec plan drought to supply isolated communities with food and water in the face of the effects of El Niño

The prefect of French Guiana has activated the ORSEC emergency plan specifically for drought conditions. This decision was made in response to a significant rainfall deficit caused by El Niño effects, which led to a sharp drop in river water levels. The declining water levels have progressively interrupted river traffic, leaving several isolated municipalities cut off from standard supply routes. The activation of this specific protocol aims to ensure these communities continue to receive essential supplies despite the disruption to their primary transportation infrastructure.
