The Dominican Republic's Emergency Operations Center (COE) maintained yellow alert for the National District and the provinces of Santo Domingo, San Cristóbal, and Monte Plata as of the latest update. ^[1] The Santo Domingo Province was created on October 16, 2001, through Law 163-01, initially comprising four municipalities and one municipal district. ^[2] The alerts respond to rains generated by a trough combined with a tropical wave, with the COE monitoring conditions in coordination with the Dominican Institute of Meteorology (Indomet). ^[3] The COE expanded green alert to 14 provinces-El Seibo, Hato Mayor, La Altagracia, La Romana, María Trinidad Sánchez, Dajabón, Montecristi, Peravia, Samaná, San José de Ocoa, San Pedro de Macorís, Sánchez Ramírez, Espaillat, and Puerto Plata-bringing more than half of the country under some level of alert. ^[4] The COE urged the population not to cross swollen rivers, streams, gullies, or flooded streets due to the risk of sudden increases in water flow. ^[5] Between 2001 and 2024, the province expanded from four municipalities to eight, representing a 100% growth, while municipal districts increased from one to seven, a 700% growth. ^[6] Law 15-24, promulgated in June 2024, established the new La Victoria municipality, which was previously the only existing municipal district at the province's creation. ^[7] The municipality of La Victoria was formed from the territory of Santo Domingo Norte, while San Antonio de Guerra was created from Santo Domingo Este. ^[8]
