The Municipal Civil Defense Board and the Emergency Operations Committee (COE) inform the community that:
The report issued by the Hydrology Department of the Mixed Technical Commission of Salto Grande indicates that “until 3:00 PM tomorrow, the discharged flow will vary between 15,000 and 17,500 m³/s. The maximum water levels at the ports of Concordia and Salto will not exceed 11.20 and 11.40 meters, respectively. The reservoir level will tend toward 33.00 meters”.
Consequently, regarding the actions of Civil Defense and the COE, the same outlook as yesterday remains: patrols in flood-prone areas, recommendations to riverside residents regarding preventive measures, planning of joint operations in riverside areas (in case the rising trend continues and increases over the coming days), and coordination with the respective National and Provincial departments.
For its part, the Volunteer Fire Department reminds that the toll-free number 103 is operational to report situations that require the attention or collaboration of Civil Defense.
Likewise, special caution is recommended to those who approach to fish in sectors where the river has increased its level, even in areas already known to fishermen, due to the water flow and the strong currents being recorded. It is also recommended to avoid unnecessary trips in boats or watercraft. Similarly, residents who do not live in the area are suggested to refrain from coming to “watch the flood” in the sectors where the water has already advanced.
Finally, the COES has set up an operations room at the Convention Center to monitor the evolution of events from this location.
