The heavy rains associated to Hurricane/Tropical Storm Stan have diminished for the most part, and water levels are coming down in rivers and affected areas. This has allowed the international assistance to reach areas isolated by the landslides. Although many displaced people have returned to their homes, there are still many in shelters, especially in El Salvador where people had to be evacuated suddenly because of the eruption of the Ilamatepec volcano. The countries are preparing needs assessments to use the funds donated by the international community. To date there are no reports of outbreaks of communicable diseases, although the conditions are ripe due to presence of contaminated water, so the situation is being carefully monitored.
