The National Civil Protection System  (Sinaproc) and the Joint Task Force (FTC) are on standby in tourist areas in Bocas del Toro and the Sixaola River that has flooded.

Some of the places that being monitored are Isla Bastimentos, Playa Bluff and Boca del Drago, where there have been falls of branches. Although the road has been cleared, the road remains in a poor state.

In addition, vigilance is maintained on the bridge over the Sixaola River says a Sinaproc Twitter message which recommends not to enter the rivers in the next 24 hours. The FTC had to draw attention to some children who ignored the warnings and entered the river in the border sector of Guabito.
