In plain language

A green alert for flooding has been issued in Nicaragua, meaning officials are monitoring the situation closely. This is a low-severity event with minimal impact on local residents reported so far.

What is a flood? A flood occurs when water overflows onto land that is usually dry. This often happens after heavy rainfall when the ground cannot soak up any more water, causing rivers or lakes to spill over their banks. In tropical regions, sudden downpours are a common cause of these rising water levels.

Always stay away from floodwaters and never try to walk or drive through them, because even shallow, moving water can be surprisingly strong.
