Costa Rica - Heavy rains last weekend caused floods in Costa Rica’s Caribbean and northern regions. Pineapple and banana plantations were left with serious damage, and public infrastructure needs to be rebuilt as thousands of people that were evacuated return to their homes.

Venezuela - Venezuela's Apure state is facing its worst floods in years. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro declared Friday a state of emergency in a town in Apure state, where heavy rains have spurred flooding. The floods in Paez are already being described as the worst to hit the area in over two decades. The disaster was triggered after more than two weeks of heavy rains caused two rivers to break their banks. More than 40,000 people have been affected, with scores of homes and businesses already severely damaged by floodwaters.
