Also affected has been the neighboring country of Columbia that has been dealing with not only torrential rains but mudslides as well. So far 300 tons of humanitarian aid has been distributed to those in need and more than 700 shelters have been doing their best to take care of the displaced residents.

Since the floods have begun many companies have been seeking ways to send shelter supplies to the recent flood victims. Oil companies such as Citgo and MQ Texas Oil Supply have always done their part to provide donation services in times of need. This event has been no different as companies like these mentioned, as well as others, try to find portable shelter supplies such as canopies, tarps and other relief housing.
