According to preliminary Ministry of Agriculture evaluations, at least a thousand rice plantations and some banana plantations were affected by the floods in Monte Cristi. So far, it has not been possible to quantify all the damage caused by the floods due to the rains, but when the waters recede and the agency concludes the survey, it will have concrete information on the actual situation.
In recent days, floods have been reported due to large amounts of rain in the northwest, the north, the Cibao Valley, the borderline, and the Central Mountain Range. Villa Vásquez, Montecristi, has been one of the most affected towns, but several provinces remain on alert.
Yesterday’s forecast from the National Meteorology Office indicated that the weather would remain wet and unstable.
