This frontal system that affected the region of Valparaíso and the province of Petorca, on Friday, June 21 and Saturday, June 22, presented various emergencies that were addressed by municipal teams and government services.

Regarding the water fall, the figures were:

In emergency matters, in La Ligua there are road cuts in the Longotoma, Casas Viejas, and Trapiche sectors due to flooding of estuaries and flows. We maintain about 100 people in the town of Jaururo with supply interruption due to the breakage of the Esval feeder due to flooding of the estuary, therefore emergency ponds were available for contingency. There was also an increase in the flow of streams in Los Bosques de Huaquén, demolishing a house on plot 26.

In the commune of Papudo, floods occurred in the El Tome sector (irregular subdivisions) due to flooding of streams. About 50 families remain isolated. Only one pedestrian bridge made by residents remains available for transit. The Papudo Wetland was also opened to the beach due to an increase in flow. The route to the town of Las Salinas de Pullally remains closed.

Petorca presented flooding of rivers and estuaries. There were minor road accidents and problems with electrical poles that were diverted from the route, specifically in the Frutillar sector, which was reported to Cge, who with their teams will carry out the necessary maintenance.

In the commune of Zapallar, the Blanquillo sector underpass, route 5 north, was disabled due to accumulation of rainwater. The Estero Santa Rosa, in the town of Cachagua, was opened controlled and preventively to the sea due to the risk of flooding. On the other hand, in the Laguna de Zapallar sector, there was an increase in flow that destroyed the pedestrian crossing.
