Plan to address the effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon in Ecuador

The Plan to face the effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), foresees two possible scenarios, one moderate and one moderate-strong, which could result in overflowing rivers, flooding, dam damage, shortage of fishery resources, among others. This Action Plan is composed of five phases: Phase 1: Normality: From white alert to yellow alert; Phase II: Mitigation: From yellow alert to orange alert; Phase III: Preparedness for Response: From orange alert to red alert; Phase IV: Response: From red alert to return to normal; Phase V: Reconstruction: From return to normal until the end of activities. Among the actions contemplated are the acquisition of assistance kits for shelters, road maintenance, risk communication campaigns and various educational measures.
