Six-meter waves and rains alert through weekend

Carlos Rumbo, director of the National Civil Protection System (Sinaproc ), said that the notice extends until Sunday.

He explained the warning of high tides in the Panamanian Pacific is maintained, which can reach heights of 5 and 6 meters and he urged people who live near maritime areas to be aware of strong winds and waves.

Those who live near rivers, slopes, and streams, should be aware of the flooding of rivers and take extreme measures.

In addition, he recommended avoiding carrying out activities on the Pacific coast and artisanal fishermen must use navigation equipment and life jackets.

He asked citizens to avoid visiting the beaches during the weekend.
