Phase 1: Immediate Response
On March 7th, Bahía Blanca and Cerri, Argentina were hit with over a year’s worth of rain in just eight hours. The heavy water quickly damaged roads, bridges, cars, housing, infrastructure, and the region. There have been 16 confirmed deaths, and still over 100 people missing. The GEM LATAM team is in Argentina now working alongside officials to get support to affected residents and those who have been displaced.
