Given the risks, Inmet recommends that residents of affected areas avoid taking shelter under trees and turn off electrical appliances and the general energy supply, when possible.
In addition to the direct risks of rain, authorities also warn of the possibility of interruptions in the supply of electricity, which could worsen the situation in some regions.
