BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

A state of emergency has been declared in towns in 14 regions of Peru for 60 days to prepare for damage from El Nino in the rainy season, reported Reuters citing Andina news agency.

The country has predicted a "moderate to strong" El Nino in the winter season. The El Nino weather phenomenon has triggered landslides and caused damage to local fishing in the country in the past. Many chief fishing and mining areas are among the regions placed under state of emergency.
