Chile Rains Leave 13 Dead, 7 Missing, Authorities Say
Authorities said 2,281 people were displaced and 87,000 remained without electricity as swollen rivers and storms caused flooding and road closures.
- On Tuesday, authorities reported 13 dead and seven missing after heavy rains struck Chile, with President Jose Antonio Kast declaring a state of emergency in affected areas on Monday.
- Storms striking from Chile's central region to the south caused widespread flooding and road closures, damaging homes and forcing school suspensions in several municipalities across four regions.
- Alicia Cebrian, head of Chile's SENAPRED emergency office, reported 2,281 people displaced, 81 homes destroyed, and 2,761 with major damage, while 87,000 residents remain without electricity.
- Interior Minister Claudio Alvarado announced the government plans to initiate disciplinary proceedings against electricity distribution companies for delays in restoring service and sustained power outages.
- Although rains are expected to ease, officials warn risks remain due to "swollen riverbeds and ravines," though some mining operations have scaled back while northern facilities remain unaffected.
