In plain language

A green alert for flooding has been issued in El Salvador following recent rainfall. This is a low-level warning, and local officials are monitoring the situation to keep everyone safe.

What is a flood? A flood happens when water overflows onto land that is usually dry. This often occurs when it rains heavily for a long time or when a lot of rain falls very quickly. The ground and rivers cannot hold all the extra liquid, so the water spreads out into streets and fields.

Stay away from moving water and never try to walk or drive through flooded areas, as the water is often deeper than it looks.
