Though the rainy still season is still fully in effect in Costa Rica, no major storms or pressure systems pose significant threats, so the National Emergency Commission (CNE) yesterday lifted all alerts, according to CNE spokeswoman Rebeca Madrigal.
“At the moment, there is no weather phenomenon threatening the country, but we must remind people not to let their guard down since we're still in the rainy season,” she said.
Earlier this week, the province of Heredia, north of San José, received the latest installment of downpours in what's been a particularly rough rainy season, resulting in flood damage around the country. About 35 houses flooded in the cantons of San Rafael, Heredia Centro and Barva.
A landslide closed one major road in La Valencia, Heredia. The Public Works and Transport Ministry (MOPT) is working to repair damages.
A couple of shelters remain open in the Southern Zone communities of Río Claro de Golfito and Ciudad Neily, where heavy rains forced some residents to evacuate their homes over the weekend, according to a statement from the CNE. |
