MANAGUA, Oct. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Nicaraguan government said on Friday that it will maintain its "yellow" alert as heavy rains continue to pose dangers such as landslides and floods in low-lying areas.

The alert has been activated as a preventive measure in case of any emergency in the country, said Guillermo Gonzalez, co-director of the National System for Prevention, Mitigation and Attention to Disasters.

He stressed that under these circumstances, it is very important to take preventive measures in order to safeguard the lives of children, pregnant women and the elderly, adding that no one should risk crossing rivers for the time being.

"The rain will continue for the next 48 hours due to the low pressure weather system in the Caribbean and Pacific," said Gonzalez.

Marcio Baca, director of meteorology of the Nicaraguan Institute of Territorial Studies, explained that the presence of two low pressure systems in the Caribbean and Pacific has caused high humidity.

"The ground is reaching the saturation point, and there could be floods and landslides," he said, urging residents to exercise extreme precaution.
