Hidalgo Halts In‑Person Classes in 34 Municipalities as Cold Front Triggers Severe Weather

A preventive command mobilizes state‑federal resources in high‑risk zones following persistent alerts for the Huasteca and Sierra regions.

Overview

  • Suspensions begin Monday, November 10, covering public and private schools from basic through higher education until further notice.
  • The move was agreed during the installation of a Puesto de Mando Preventivo led by Governor Julio Menchaca with national civil protection chief Laura Velázquez, involving CNPC, SEDENA, CONAGUA, CFE and the Hidalgo public security agency.
  • Authorities pre‑positioned machinery and personnel to zones most exposed to landslides and flooding, with continuous monitoring of vulnerable localities.
  • Schools may shift to distance learning where infrastructure allows, and officials will announce reactivation once conditions are deemed safe.
  • Weather alerts are tied to Cold Front No. 13 and to heightened vulnerability after mid‑October storms that caused 22 deaths and nine missing, according to federal reports.
