Venezuela http://pr.water.usgs.gov/public/venezuela/ A preliminary overview by the USGS
Colombia floodsMore than 2 million people have been affected by flooding in northern Colombia. On the groundMore than 2 million people are thought to have been affected by heavy flooding in Colombia which has destroyed close to 3,000 houses and caused damage to agricultural land, infrastructure and highways. 28 of the 32 departments in the country are currently under water, prompting the Government to declare the situation a 'National Calamity.' Heavy rains are expected to continue in the following days, weeks and months, affecting the Caribbean and Andean regions, some of the poorest in the country. Oxfam assessments show that in Córdoba, Sucre, Boliviar and Chocó, 70% of the flood-affected population do not have access to safe water, adequate sanitation and washing facilities and have lost personal belongings and household items. Slideshow: Flooding in Córdoba province The temporary pause in the rains over the past few days is a relief but we know the worst is yet to come – especially for the poorest people in remote areas. Access to food and loss of income due to the flooding are more and more worrying. In many cases people will not be able to plant or harvest crops for at least seven months. Nobody can hold out that long without the right amount of help. Guillermo Toro, Oxfam Disaster and Risk Reduction Manager
