Overview
- Alfonso Durazo detailed a plan to restructure Sonora’s Civil Protection around professionalized staffing, stronger inspections and enforcement with sanctions.
- The increase from 96 million pesos in 2025 to 152 million in 2026 was filed on November 13 within the state revenue and spending package before the Sonora Congress.
- The redesign seeks to transform both state and municipal Civil Protection into a career civil service with clearer standards, supervision and greater response capacity.
- Durazo said civil-society sectors will be convened to help design the new policy and pledged no impunity or cover‑ups, emphasizing truth, justice, reparation and non‑repetition.
- Officials linked the initiative to the November 1 Hermosillo Waldo’s blaze that left 24 dead and 14 injured, with next steps including regulations, job profiles and more frequent inspections of commercial, industrial and service sites.
