Santo Domingo.– Las fuertes lluvias que inciden sobre gran parte del país mantienen en alerta roja a Puerto Plata y Espaillat, informó el Centro de Operaciones de Emergencias (COE), ante el riesgo de inundaciones y crecidas de ríos, arroyos y cañadas.

El organismo detalló que otras 13 provincias y el Distrito Nacional se encuentran en alerta amarilla, mientras que nueve permanecen en verde, debido a las precipitaciones asociadas a una vaguada que afecta el territorio nacional.

La sede diplomática recomendó mantenerse informados sobre el estado del tiempo, las condiciones de las vías y posibles inundaciones, a través de fuentes oficiales como los reportes del COE y su aplicación móvil “AlertaCOE”.
