Guidelines in Case of Heavy Rain and High Accumulation

Inmet recommends turning off electrical devices and, in high-risk areas, even the main energy panel. Residents on slopes should watch for signs of changes and stay in sheltered places.

During gusts of wind, the recommendation is not to seek shelter under trees due to the risk of falling and electric discharges.

It is also advised not to park vehicles near transmission towers and advertising signs in case of strong winds.

In flooding situations, the recommendation is to protect belongings with plastic bags. The public should avoid facing bad weather and follow official information.

Understand How the Alert Levels of Inmet Work

Inmet classifies weather warnings into three colors. The yellow alert indicates potential danger, with guidance for caution and monitoring of predicted conditions.

The orange alert represents a dangerous weather situation, requiring constant vigilance and attention to the recommendations of authorities.

Finally, the red alert signals great danger, with a forecast of exceptionally intense phenomena and a high probability of serious damage and accidents, posing a risk to physical integrity or human life.

In these cases, it is essential to follow all instructions and be prepared for emergency measures.
