Identification of 175 critical points and infrastructure at risk: Santiago government prepares for frontal system

The Chilean regional government of Santiago has identified 175 critical infrastructure points at high risk due to an approaching weather system, prompting activation of the Regional Emergency System across 52 communes. The governor, Claudio Orrego, warned of potential rainfall between 140 and 200 millimeters over four days, along with strong winds and possible power outages. The report by the National Service for Prevention and Response to Disasters (Senapred) highlights risks including flooding, river overflow, waterlogging, debris flows, and sewer collapse. Over 1 million people live within the influence zones of these critical points, with significant populations of children, elderly, and vulnerable groups in areas like Peñalolén and Pudahuel. The study also lists schools, health centers, police stations, and transportation terminals as at risk, emphasizing the need for preventive measures such as potential school closures.
