Uruguay is preparing for potential disaster stemming from the advancing effects of El Niño, with authorities warning of a challenging period. The National System of Emergency (Sinae) is proactively procuring national supplies for emergency centers (Cecoed) in anticipation of worsening floods. Currently, six departments have reported evacuations due to rising water levels. To bolster the response, authorities are establishing new logistical centers to manage aid distribution. The situation is described as a “low-intensity catastrophe,” requiring preparation and coordination. Officials are focused on mitigating the impact of the expected flooding and supporting affected populations. The ongoing El Niño phenomenon is driving increased rainfall and exacerbating flood risk across the country.
