Senapred declares red alert in the Maule and joins the other eight in force in the country

The Chilean National Service of Prevention and Response to Disasters (Senapred) has issued a red alert for the Maule Region due to mass movements and increased water flow in the area, raising the risk level for residents. The Directorate of Meteorology (DMC) reported forecasts of moderate to strong winds and precipitation across various regions, including the coast, valleys, and mountain ranges. Sernageomin updated its technical report indicating a high likelihood of landslides and rockfalls throughout the region. As a result, Senapred canceled the previous yellow alert issued since July 24 and declared a red alert until conditions improve. Multiple other red alerts remain active nationwide, including in the Biobío, Los Lagos, Ñuble, La Araucanía, and Los Ríos regions, due to rising river levels and flooding risks. These alerts were triggered by a new weather system affecting central southern Chile, leading to evacuations and property damage in several communities.

On August 1, 2026, during the fifth edition of the Mountain Fest in the Valle Las Trancas area of the Ñuble Region, a large tent used for the event collapsed due to heavy snowfall caused by an advancing weather system.
