The Interior Minister, Rodrigo Delgado, led the monitoring meeting of the impact by the frontal system and alluvium developed during the afternoon of Saturday and early morning of this Sunday at Onemi.
In particular, the head of the portfolio insisted on the call to the inhabitants of the Metropolitan region to ration water consumption, since the supply of the mega-tank enabled for this contingency lowered its capacity to 44% -as he pointed out-, since it entered in operations yesterday Saturday due to the turbidity of the water of the Maipo and Mapocho rivers.
Meanwhile, he also warned that it is unacceptable that there are neighbors who are already completing 2 days without electricity supply, in particular because it is a basic service and is critical -for example- for electro-dependent people.
After the meeting, the director of Onemi Ricardo Toro, reported that at the national level there are 36 thousand people without electricity: 16 thousand in the Metropolitan region, 7,800 in Maule and 9,800 in O’Higgins.
Likewise, he indicated that the Red Alert is maintained for San José de Maipo, where yesterday 2 messages were sent by SAE system to San Alfonso and Peach; as well as Yellow Alert for Florida.
Meanwhile, in San José de Maipo the sectors of El Ingenio, San Alfonso, San Gabriel and Melocotón remain isolated, in whose last sector the La Solana bridge collapsed, where Vialidad is already working to recover connectivity.
During the night, around 5:00 a.m., the emergency agency declared a Yellow Alert for the Lo Barnechea commune due to mass removal, according to the information provided by the National Geology and Mining Service (Sernageomin) and Onemi Metropolitana, who reported an alluvial mass removal at kilometer 15 of Route G-21, in the Yerba Loca estuary sector of the commune.
So far, the number of isolated people in the town of Corral Quemado is under analysis.
Meanwhile, also during the early morning, the San José de Maipo commune began to receive help from Onemi in mattresses and blankets that will be distributed this Sunday in the different shelters in the commune.

Shortly before midnight, Onemi also issued a Yellow Alert for mass removal in Los Andes, Valparaíso region, after episodes of landslide on Route 60-CH at kilometer 31, in the Bocatoma sector of that commune.
We report a detachment in two sectors of international route 60 CH.
There are no people or houses affected.

The same also happened in the O’Higgins region, in San Vicente and in Malloa, where the population at risk was evacuated after mass removals in the La Vinilla and Tunca Arriba sectors, in San Vicente; and in the Cuesta Caracoles sector, in Malloa.
In the latter area, images released by firefighters showed the level of damage caused by the storm, particularly in the Cantarrana sector.
Further south, in Alto Bío Bío, Toro pointed out that the communities of Butalelbun and Trapa Trapa are isolated as a result of road traffic. Meanwhile, in La Araucanía, in Collipuli, there are 56 people affected, 14 homes with major damage and 16 with damage under evaluation as a result of flooding.
