The Executive Branch has extended the state of emergency for 60 calendar days in 179 districts across 21 Peruvian regions due to the imminent risk caused by heavy rainfall.
The measure was made official through Supreme Decree No. 048-2026-PCM and will enter into force on April 6, 2026, as a continuation of the previously declared state of emergency.
The extension covers districts in Amazonas, Ancash, Apurimac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Huancavelica, Huanuco, Ica, Junin, La Libertad, Lambayeque, Lima, Loreto, Moquegua, Pasco, Piura, San Martin, Tacna, Tumbes, and Ucayali, areas facing a very high risk due to the rains.
According to the decree, the measure will allow the continuation of immediate and necessary actions to reduce risk, as well as response and rehabilitation efforts in the affected areas.
In this context,
regional and local governments, with technical coordination from the National Civil Defense Institute (Indeci), will continue implementing actions such as river cleaning and desilting, support with heavy machinery, and delivery of agricultural supplies.
Various sectors of the Executive Branch will take part, including the Ministries of Health, Education, Agrarian Development, Housing, Transportation, Defense, Interior, Energy and Mines, Women, and Development and Social Inclusion, to address the emergency in a coordinated manner.
Finally, the decree states that the actions will be financed from the institutional budgets of the entities involved, without requiring additional resources from the Public Treasury.
