Peru declares state of emergency in 893 districts over El Nino rain threat

Peru declared a 60-day state of emergency across 893 districts in 22 regions plus Callao, preemptively responding to forecast intense rainfall linked to El Nino. The measure is precautionary, as the rains have not yet materialized, but signals elevated disaster-preparedness risk. This is a notable escalation in government response to a climate-driven hazard, with potential humanitarian and infrastructure impacts.
