There is a red alert in the San Jorge region, in Cordoba and Sucre, for flooding due to rising river

The article reports on severe flooding and red alert conditions in the San Jorge river region affecting departments of Córdoba and Sucre in Colombia. Heavy rains and strong winds have caused rising water levels, impacting eight municipalities in Sucre and leaving 400 families affected. The situation was exacerbated by a tropical wave that brought continuous rainfall, leading to a flood level increase of approximately three meters in Montelíbano. Hydrologist Cielo Díaz noted that while precipitation levels were low in recent months, torrential rains triggered the alert. The alert remains active due to ongoing rain forecasts linked to the tropical wave. Affected areas include Montelíbano, La Apartada, Puerto Libertador, and San Marcos, with nearby communities along rivers feeding into the San Jorge also at risk. Authorities emphasize the need for local councils to provide support to affected populations.
