Members of Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador were alerted about flooding in Colonia Las Brisas in Lourdes, Colón, where several families were affected as water levels rose due to the rain.

Volunteers from Comandos de Salvamento de Lourdes arrived to assist the affected families, along with members of Protección Civil Municipal, who worked for several hours to unclog the drains and thereby lower the water level.

In the early hours of this morning, rescuers from Comandos de Salvamento de El Salvador, Ciudad Arce branch, arrived at Cantón Talcualuya, where several families were affected by the overflowing of the Río Agua Fría.

Rescuers searched for a motorcycle that had been swept away by the water current in the Las Rejas sector.

Likewise, a vehicle was trapped by the overflowing of the Río Agua Fría and was removed by rescue and civil protection units.
