So far, only the regional governments of Ancash, Huanuco, Junin, Puno, and San Martin have complied with this important task.
The Executive Branch reiterated its commitment to continuing to strengthen coordination among the different levels of government to protect the population and reduce the impact of the El Niño phenomenon.
