Event: DR Drought Number: 2013-000128 Country: PRY Paraguay Location: Date (YMD): 2013-10-7 Time: Duration: Magnitude: Information Source: IFRC Comments: Approximately 15,000 families in 246 communities are being strongly affected by droughts in the Paraguayan Chaco since early May, directly impacting their livelihoods. Lack of rains during the first months of the year prevented families from getting the water needed to fill their reserve tanks. Meanwhile, communities are still facing the consequences of a frost that affected the area in July and August 2013 causing further loss in agriculture, livestock and dairy production, mainly in the Chaco?s department of Boquer?n. In view of this situation, the Paraguay Government declared a state of emergency on 11 September 2013 to address the consequences from both events.
