Overview

• Secretaría de Bienestar is deploying Servidores de la Nación from Monday to register damaged homes and businesses in Iztapalapa and Nezahualcóyotl for economic support.
• Authorities report most floodwaters have receded, but Nezahualcóyotl’s Vicente Villada and Ampliación Vicente Villada remain inundated with a permanent command post in place.
• Emergency crews moved in early with specialized equipment to lower water levels, and a joint command post was set up by Conagua, the State of Mexico and municipal authorities.
• Teams are positioned to begin street-by-street cleaning, disinfection and cistern and home sanitation as levels drop, with definitive fixes to be pursued after the emergency phase.
• Conagua attributes the severity to clogged drainage and infrastructure deterioration from differential subsidence, with impacts recorded in Iztapalapa, Tláhuac, La Paz, Ecatepec, Lerma and Nezahualcóyotl.
