Hundreds of towns and villages in the South American country of Bolivia are on alert as heavy rains continue to wreak havoc.
Authorities say 33 people have died in rain-induced landslides and overflowing river banks since November.
The number of deaths is eight times higher than the same period last year.
Authorities are closely monitoring several dams that are at risk of flooding.
Juan Carlos Calvimontes, Vice Minister of Civil Defense, said that of Bolivia’s 340 municipalities, 10 are on high alert, and a further 279 are on orange alert, the second highest.
Officials also announced that humanitarian aid had been sent to Achocarra, La Paz state. In Achokara, a 35-year-old woman and her two children were buried after a landslide flooded their home.
A neighbour told the local newspaper Correo del Sur that the woman yelled at her to get out of the house, but her mother probably did not get her children in time.
More than 20 people were injured. La Paz state authorities are also closely monitoring water levels at the Incachaca Dam.
Government experts toured the dam on Sunday with the mayor of La Paz, which is located downstream of the dam.
Mayor Ivan Arias said that although the water level in the reservoir had “reached 100%”, the water was now being drained smoothly and that he did not expect any “significant downstream impacts”.
Three of his other reservoirs, Hampaturi Rialto, Pampararama and Alpaquita, also reached their peak.
Heavy rains have hit Bolivia amid a prolonged drought and one of the hottest winters the country has ever experienced.
Back in October, hundreds of people gathered at the now nearly full Incachaca Reservoir to pray for rain.
