Overview
- The executive branch published Supreme Decree No. 081-2026-PCM to renew the emergency for 60 days, a measure that takes effect on June 1 and continues central coordination of relief work.
- The declaration covers 41 districts across Áncash, Apurímac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Cajamarca, Cusco, Huancavelica, Huánuco, Junín, Lima and Pasco, including previously declared zones such as Mariano Nicolás Valcárcel in Arequipa.
- INDECI will lead technical coordination with the ministries of Health, Education, Housing, Transport, Defense, Interior, Development and Women, plus regional and local governments and security forces to carry out response and rehab tasks.
- All response actions must be financed from the institutional budgets of the participating agencies and cannot draw additional funds from the national Treasury, limiting new central spending.
- Official reports warn regional capacity remains overrun, especially in Arequipa, with key tasks still pending such as river and ravine clearing and temporary housing for affected families, and the decree allows measures to be adjusted as technical studies evolve.
