Country: Timor-Leste Sources: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Timor-Leste Red Cross Please refer to the attached file. Risk Analysis Moderate to heavy rainfall occurred over a three-day period from 10 to 13 May 2026 in Dotic Village, Manufahi Municipality, as well as in Lautem, Viqueque, and Covalima municipalities. The rainfall caused rivers to overflow, resulting in flooding in Dotic Village (Manufahi) and in Tazhilin and Raimea areas of Covalima Municipality. The CVTL has activated the Early Action Protocol (EAP) in Manufahi Municipality to mitigate the impact of the overflowing Weberek River in Dotic Village. As rainfall continues in Manufahi, the number of evacuated people is expected to increase. Additionally, the Timor-Leste Meteorology Office forecast continued rainfall in Manufahi Municipality through 15 May 2026. Based on the latest updates and the actual situation in Dotic Village, the moderate rainfall forecasted by the Meteorology Office has not caused any significant impact on Dotic Village or the surrounding communities. In light of this, the CVTL team proceeded with the initial plan to deactivate the anticipatory action at 01:00 a.m. local time, officially ceasing early anticipatory activities and concluding its services at the evacuation center.
