Sheinbaum Visits Flooded Nezahualcóyotl as Classes Move Online and Aid Census Accelerates

A door-to-door federal census aims to speed assistance to affected families.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum toured affected areas with Governor Delfina Gómez and Welfare Secretary Ariadna Montiel, promising an initial support payment this week and a second round based on risk evaluations.
  • The State of Mexico extended remote learning in Nezahualcóyotl through next week to allow water removal, cleaning and disinfection before a safe return to classrooms.
  • Conagua is operating 53 pumping units and 20 water tankers, cutting impacted streets from 112 to 29, and will remain on site until all water is cleared.
  • More than 450 federal public servants are conducting a house‑to‑house survey so families receive aid without visiting assistance modules.
  • Authorities flagged disinfection as the next step and said longer‑term drainage fixes, including the Chalco collector, are being prepared after rainfall of about 75 millimeters was characterized as atypical.
