Colombia |
The weather phenomenon La Ni?a has had an enormous effect across Colombia since its development by mid year of 2010. Since March, it has brought rains above historical records, causing landslides, flash floods, breakage of barriers, and therefore ongoing floods in 28 departments and 561 municipalities around the country. Thus far, there are some 257,849 affected families (1,211,146 persons), 208 injured, 139 deaths, 23 missing people, and 204,794 damaged homes. The more impacted departments are Bolivar, with 264,000 affected people, followed by Magdalena with 161,000, C?rdoba with 151,000 and Sucre with 107,000.
Unfortunately, the Colombian Institute of Hydrology, Meteorology and Environmental Studies forecasts that La Ni?a phenomenon and its strong rains will continue until the first trimester of 2011. This could mean the overlapping of the rainy seasons of 2010 with the first rainy season of 2011 (March-April-May).
On 18 November, the Minister of Justice, German Vargas Lleras, declared a state of public calamity in 28 of the 32 Departments of the country. The government hopes to facilitate the gathering of additional resources, as the country?s capabilities have been overloaded. This declaration also fastens the processes to receive international aid and supports subjects such as housing and agriculture. |
