Brief Description:
In response to heavy rains, extensive flooding and landslides in the north-central departments of Santander and Norte de Santander and the central department of Tolima in February 2005, OFDA provided $50,000 through the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá to the Colombian Red Cross for the purchase and distribution of relief supplies. These relief supplies included emergency food, potable water, and blankets. In addition, a OFDA consultant based in Colombia collaborated with USAID/Colombia and local disaster officials to asses the extent of the damage.
