El Niño preparedness in Argentine Litoral

Overview

Authorities in the Argentine Litoral region are implementing preventative measures to prepare for the El Niño climate phenomenon, which is expected to bring intense rainfall and significant river rises.

In Entre Ríos, the Administrative Commission of the ‘Raúl Uranga – Carlos Sylvestre Begnis’ Subfluvial Tunnel has initiated mandatory training sessions for technical, transit, and administrative staff. These protocols include monitoring hydrometric levels of the Paraná River and verifying electrical and pumping systems to ensure operational safety.

In Corrientes, officials are upgrading hospital infrastructure to mitigate flooding risks. Inspections at the Hospital Escuela have focused on recovering technical areas in the basement and readjusting storm drainage and sewage systems. These assessments and technical improvements are planned to extend to other health centers across the province.
