Peru mobilizes S/800 million and private sector command for El Niño
Peru is mobilizing significant financial and organizational resources to prepare for the El Niño phenomenon. President Keiko Fujimori announced an S/800 million emergency package. Of this, S/450 million is designated for 380 critical points in regions including Tumbes, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, Áncash, Lima, Ica, and Arequipa to manage river defenses and cleaning. An additional S/350 million will address drought and water scarcity.
To complement government efforts, a private sector command led by Carlos Neuhaus has been formed. This group includes major business associations such as SNI, Confiep, AGAP, and SNMPE. The command aims to provide logistics, machinery, and management expertise to support state actions.
Additionally, the government has already transferred over S/179 million for immediate prevention works in six critical regions, focusing on riverbed cleaning and the installation of dynamic barriers in Lima and Huarochirí to mitigate the impact of landslides and floods.
