# Argentina El Niño response coordination > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/argentina-el-nio-response-coordination > Updated: 2026-08-03T17:03:34.000Z. Sources: 27. Developments: 2. In early August 2026, the province of La Pampa created a permanent Unidad de Gestión de Contingencias Hidrometeorológicas to coordinate agencies, municipalities, producers and neighboring provinces ahead of a strong El Niño expected by late 2026‑early 2027. The unit will work with national bodies such as the Federal Investment Council and the Inter‑American Institute for Disaster Reduction, emphasizing flood‑risk mapping, adjusted production schedules and geospatial data to protect agriculture and livestock. On 3 August 2026, the II Consejo Regional de Seguridad Interior met in Resistencia, Chaco, where President Karina Milei, Chief of Cabinet Diego Santilli, Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva and Federal Emergency Agency director Santiago Hardie presented the ENOS 2026/2027 Federal Coordination Plan. The plan adds a real‑time dashboard, municipal risk‑modeling tools and integrates the National Meteorological Service, National Water Institute, National Space Activities Commission and the National Emergency Alert and Monitoring System. Climate models indicated an almost certain continuation and intensification of El Niño, prompting coordinated preventive actions across Argentine provinces and Paraguay. Regional workshops and local initiatives—from Rosario nautical clubs to municipal meetings in Azul, Entre Ríos, Ceres and Avellaneda—aligned with the national strategy, preparing flood‑risk protocols, channel cleaning and emergency‑response logistics. Together, the provincial unit and the ENOS plan illustrate a multi‑level effort to anticipate, monitor and mitigate the anticipated intensification of El Niño across Argentina and its neighboring river basin. ## Claims - The Federal Coordination Plan ENOS 2026/2027 was presented by Santiago Hardie, director executive of the Federal Emergency Agency (AFE).
