Flooding in Honduras near the Choluteca River

Heavy rains hit the central and southern areas of the country, resulting in  the formation of dykes and landslides on the road that leads to the eastern section of Honduras. Members of the Fire Department monitored and inspected various vulnerable areas of the capital in order to safeguard the lives of citizens. From early on, firefighting units mobilized to eastern neighborhoods, where landslides were reported from the rainfall overnight.

The Choluteca river flow is high, and a dam has formed near the La Mololoa and El Jazmín neighborhoods, where members of the Fire Department maintain constant surveillance.
