Mexico Deploys Education Brigades to Survey Flood‑Hit Schools in Five States

Findings will drive repairs, insurance processing, then a safe return to classes.

Overview

  • SEP has activated Servidores de la Educación brigades to inspect every affected campus across Hidalgo, Puebla, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí and Veracruz.
  • Inifed is conducting technical evaluations to classify damage as minor, moderate or severe, with photo and technical reports guiding interventions and temporary closures where required.
  • Collected data will support repair plans and reconciliation with insurer Agroasemex, which will reimburse cleanup for minor damage and help determine reconstruction and equipment replacement.
  • Schools and public research centers are serving as shelters and aid hubs, with portable water sanitation modules deployed and volunteer networks providing relief, basic psychosocial support and off‑site classes.
  • Authorities outlined medium‑term resilience steps including hydrometeorological sensor networks, an AI‑enabled monitoring center and updated open GIS risk maps to inform community alerts and potential relocations.
