At least three people have been killed and hundreds more displaced after powerful storms swept across Chile, triggering widespread flooding, landslides, and extensive damage to homes and infrastructure.
Emergency crews have been deployed across the hardest-hit regions as swollen rivers overflowed, roads were washed away, and floodwaters forced families to abandon their homes.
Authorities say hundreds of residents have been evacuated to temporary shelters, while rescue teams continue assisting communities cut off by rising water and debris.
The severe weather has also disrupted transport networks, damaged power lines, and affected essential services in several areas.
Meteorologists warn that the worst rainfall is still to come, with additional storms expected to move across central and southern Chile in the coming days, increasing the risk of further flooding and landslides.
Officials have urged residents living in vulnerable areas to remain alert, follow evacuation orders, and avoid unnecessary travel as emergency operations continue.
Government agencies remain on high alert, with firefighters, police, and disaster response teams working around the clock to protect lives and restore access to affected communities.
As Chile braces for another wave of heavy rain, authorities say their priority is ensuring public safety while continuing rescue efforts and providing support to families displaced by the devastating storms.
