Peru and Chile implement climate preparedness and recovery measures

In Peru, the government has authorized a transfer of S/205.3 million to the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MTC) to prepare for and respond to the El Niño phenomenon. Authorities are reinforcing ravines in Chosica to mitigate the threat of landslides (huaicos), while Senamhi warns that extraordinary conditions could potentially lead to the formation of a new cyclone similar to Yaku along the coast.

In Chile, regional efforts are focused on climate and infrastructure resilience. In Tarapacá, the mining company Collahuasi is advancing an extraordinary plan to recover infrastructure damaged by recent rains. Meanwhile, various regional reports highlight local responses to climate phenomena, including discussions on how Iquique and Alto Hospicio should prepare for climate change and the positive economic impact on local fishers despite recent weather events.
