Heavy Rain And Flooding
Now in The Northern Zone
The sun has been shining
on Guanacaste and the
water has begun to
recede since Monday
allowing area residents
to begin the talk of
cleaning up and getting
back to their lives.
However, the rain,
raging rivers and floods
have now taken over the
Northern zone that includes
San Carlos.
The water was literally
to the roof in areas
like barrio San Roque in
Cuidad Quesada (San
Carlos) destroying 10
homes and placing some
300 others are at severe
risk.
The major problem in the
area is that many homes
have been built at the
edge of the rivers and
those families risk
losing everything at the
heavy rains in the area
provoke the water levels
in the river to rise and
strong currents taking
out everything in its
path.
Two bridges in the area
have already been
reported with serious
damage, cutting off
several communities.
Cruz Roja and the
Comisión Nacional de
Emergencias (CNE) are
working together to
evacuate families at
risk and avoid a major
tragedy.
