Costa Rica Issues Yellow Alert for Three Regions Amid Tropical Wave Threat

Costa Rica's National Emergency Commission (CNE) has raised a yellow alert for three key regions as tropical wave number 24 and the intertropical convergence zone intensify weather risks across the country. The affected areas include Guanacaste, the North Pacific, and the Central Pacific, where residents face an elevated threat of flooding and landslides.

The CNE's decision reflects a heightened concern for public safety as these weather systems bring increased rainfall and potential instability. The yellow alert signifies a state of caution, urging preparedness and monitoring in the affected zones.

In response to the immediate risks, authorities have established temporary shelters for 220 individuals evacuated from communities such as Naranjal 1, Álamo, Oropel, Carretones, and El Tigre. This measure aims to provide immediate safety and support for those displaced by the developing weather conditions.
