Colombia - Floods I

Map of Colombia

Regional Team: LAC

Assistance Provided: 11/18/2004

Brief Description: Colombia has suffered uncharacteristically heavy and sustained rainfall over the past two months, causing severe flooding in 24 of its 32 departments. Colombian and international relief agencies report that more than 200,000 people have been victimized by the floods. Nineteen deaths have been reported and over 300 homes were completely destroyed, with another 17,000 severely damaged. USAID's $250,000 contribution is helping victims in the hardest hit region of the country known as "La Mojana" in the Department of Sucre. These funds will be used to meet the most immediate needs of affected and vulnerable families and to assist local authorities in their broader, ongoing relief efforts.
