📋 Tender Overview
The National Service of Meteorology and Hydrology of Peru (Senamhi) informs the population that the Tumbes River presents a significant increase in its flow, reaching the red threshold, which indicates a high probability of overflows and flooding in areas near the channel.
According to Hydrological Notice No. 685, issued for the Cabo Inga station, at 01:00 a.m. a flow of 1222.22 m3/s was recorded. Likewise, Hydrological Notice No. 691 reports that, at the El Tigre station, at 05:00 hours, the flow reached 1122.3 m3/s, values at the red threshold.
As of February 23, at 11:00 a.m., both stations remain at the red threshold, recording maximum instantaneous flows of 1428 m3/s in Cabo Inga and 1181 m3/s in El Tigre.
The continuous rains recorded in the basin, as well as the precipitation forecasts for the next two days, would favor the maintenance of high flows. This condition increases the probability of overflows and localized flooding, mainly in populated centers located near the channels and riparian areas such as: Cabo Inga, Rica Playa, Brunos, Loyola, El Naranjo, La Capitana, El Prado Bajo, Carretas, El Prado, Prado Alto, Limon, Oidor, Pampas de Hospital, Tumbes, Tacural, Cerro Blanco, Cruz Blanca, Santa Maria, Casa Blanqueada, Francos and Chickpea.

Do not attempt to cross flooded or current areas.
Identify evacuation routes and safe areas in case of emergency.
Stay attentive to official statements from Senamhi, Indeci and local authorities.
Senamhi continues to permanently monitor hydrological conditions and will promptly report any significant changes.
