Hurricane Polo triggers emergency response across Mexico
Hurricane Polo, a category 5 storm in the Pacific Ocean, has prompted emergency preparedness measures across several Mexican states. Authorities in Baja California Sur have activated Plan DN-III-E, coordinating with the Mexican Army and the Guardia Nacional to prepare rescue brigades, vehicles, and temporary shelters.
In Sonora, the government has activated preventive actions in 14 municipalities, including Hermosillo and Ciudad Obregón, due to expected heavy rainfall. The State Civil Protection Coordination has issued a blue alert, indicating a very low danger level, while coordinating with federal agencies like the Navy and the CFE.
In Sinaloa, the municipality of Ahome has also entered a preventive phase. Local authorities are monitoring meteorological conditions and reviewing the readiness of temporary shelters. Forecasts suggest the system may continue moving northwest, potentially reaching Sonora and Sinaloa as a tropical storm by the evening of September 28.
