Argentina Floods
Unprecedented floods, "the worst since the foundation of the town of Santa Fe in 1573", affected the whole province and nearby areas in central Argentina, causing evacuation of 60,000 inhabitants. The Water Institute fears that the situation would last for weeks due to high phreatic levels and abnormal precipitations.
The Charter was triggered by the Argentinian Federal Emergency System, to become Authorised User since the Argentinian space agency, Comission Nacional de Actividades Espaciales decided to join the Charter with its SAT-C satellite.
