Comments:
Since 9 March, 2008 constant rain and the subsequent overflow of the Bermejo, Pilcomayo and Carapari rivers have been causing severe floods in the departments of Rivadavia, San Martin and Oran in the province of Salta. Several bridges are severely damaged and main roads are obstructed; their current inaccessibility is isolating several communities. Some 17,000 families have been affected by the floods and at least 11,600 persons are isolated, especially in the areas of Rivadavia, Banda Norte, Sur and Santa Victoria Este located north of the province of Salta.
