The storm that affected Córdoba over the weekend left unprecedented figures for this time of year. In just 48 hours, the highest rainfall levels for an August in the last one hundred years were recorded. Cruz Alta was the most affected, with 332 millimeters (13.07 inches) accumulated, while Inriville reached 187.8 millimeters (7.39 inches).
Given the magnitude of the phenomenon, the governor contacted the mayors of Cruz Alta, Los Surgentes, Marcos Juárez, and Santiago Temple. He also instructed several provincial departments to coordinate containment and immediate assistance efforts. The work included the ministries of Government, Social Development, Security, and Infrastructure and Public Services.
The Executive activated the Permanent Disaster Fund, which allows resources and essential items to be sent to those affected. Among the distributed items are mattresses, blankets, roofing sheets, and cleaning products. Meanwhile, Water Resources teams are using pumps and backhoes to drain the most compromised areas.
