Floods and landslides in Ecuador
Heavy rains continued to pour in Jocay, Ecuador this week, causing flooding across coastal communities.

166 homes have been destroyed and 2,823 people have been evacuated from their homes to shelters and other communities.
In February, hundreds of people fled their homes to seek shelter after severe rains caused floods and damaged local crops and produce.

Rains began over the Andes mountains and the Ecuadorian coast in mid-February; the resulting floods caused crop loss, and damage to houses, roads and bridges. Heavy casualties have also been reported.
With the radar scenes received through the International Charter Space & Major Disasters, the Ecuadorian Remote Sensing Center (CLIRSEN) generated the water surface of flooded areas which was delivered to the National Civil Protection Agency (SNGR) on March 26, 2012.
