This is the dramatic moment emergency responders evacuated residents amid severe flooding in Colombia.

At least eight locals and a pet dog were rescued by helicopter after floodwaters stranded them in a rural area of Paratebueno on June 10.

Heavy rains caused the Humea River to overflow, inundating the region and leaving residents cut off.

A UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter from Combat Air Command No. 2 carried out the rescue operation.

Footage shows responders guiding the distressed residents onto the aircraft amid the freak weather on Tuesday evening.

All individuals were safely extracted and flown to the Paratebueno football field, where a medical team conducted health checks.
