Red Alert

Honduras's disaster agency will finish distributing food assistance to vulnerable families in 103 municipalities declared under red alert due to El Niño-driven drought by December 5, while also providing seeds, fertilizer, and health support.

Copeco warned that 91 Honduran municipalities under yellow alert could escalate to red-alert status as El Niño–driven drought conditions are forecast to persist through June 2027, while 103 municipalities already receive humanitarian aid.

Honduras's capital faces a red alert for water shortage even as heavy rains this week threaten flooding, with the mayor warning that about 90% of drainage and stream blockages stem from trash accumulation and abandoned vehicles.
