El Niño Climate & Flood Risk Context

Ecuador's coastal plain and Galápagos Islands are exceptionally vulnerable to El Niño. Abnormal sea surface temperatures off the coast unleash heavy rain, triggering coastal river basin floods and extensive banana, shrimp, and cacao crop destruction. In Quito, flood risk increases when antecedent soil moisture prevents rainwater from infiltrating, forcing runoff into local municipal drains and river channels.
