The regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo decreed two alerts a few hours after the arrival of the cyclone. Guillermo González, minister director of the National System for Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Attention (Sinapred), issued two communiqués, simultaneously, declaring a green alert and a yellow alert for the entire national territory.
The green was emitted by the approach of the tropical depression number two which establishes the preparation of municipal and departmental committees for hurricanes, and the activation of communication mechanisms with communities at risk.
The regime immediately decreed a yellow alert before the formation of the tropical storm Bonnie, when the phenomenon was about 300 kilometers from the Nicaraguan Caribbean. This measure mandates the execution of response plans in the territories that are potentially affected.
