SNGRE also said that flooding from the San Miguel and Putumayo rivers was affecting parts of Puerto El Carmen de Putumayo, close to the border with Colombia.
Heavy rain also caused several landslides in the area, blocking the road that connects Lumbaqui to La Bonita and El Playón. The landslide left several vehicles including 3 buses stranded, along with around 150 passengers and drivers. Authorities said they are distributing relief supplies to those affected.
