Floodwaters Recede in Northern Nayarit After Hurricane Narda

Receding river levels are allowing returns to homes across northern Nayarit.

Overview

  • State officials report falling water in rivers and arroyos, with evacuees beginning to return and seven municipalities kept under active monitoring.
  • Authorities say the arroyo La Viejita and the río Cañas are currently in normal conditions with no overflow risk, shifting the focus to cleanup and sanitation.
  • Earlier flooding in Acaponeta followed the overflow of La Viejita and high flows on the río Cañas, damaging roughly 250 homes and prompting temporary shelters for dozens of residents.
  • Emergency operations remain in place with SEDENA applying Plan DN-III-E and coordinated deployments by Protección Civil, Bomberos, Policía Estatal, Unidad Cóndor and DIF for rescue, aid and assessments.
  • CONAGUA reported recent flow readings showing the río San Pedro at 319.86 m³/s and the río Acaponeta at 330.725 m³/s below alert levels, while the río Cañas at La Bayona had previously surpassed its alert at 416.094 m³/s.
