Sinaloa officials consider relocating families due to sea surges

Flor Emilia Guerra Mena, the Secretary of Fisheries and Aquaculture for Sinaloa, has announced that authorities are evaluating the feasibility of relocating families affected by severe sea surges. The phenomenon, which residents claim has not occurred with such magnitude in 30 years, has caused water to enter homes and block access roads in several fishing communities.

Affected areas include El Colorado, La Pitahaya, El Huitussi, Topolobampo, and El Maviri. In some locations, rising sea levels have left residents isolated by flooding on access roads.

Guerra Mena stated that the government is committed to finding solutions for those whose property is at risk, noting that while some settlements are in low-lying areas, it is the responsibility of the authorities to provide aid. Coordination is underway between various agencies, including DIF, Public Works, Health, and Education, to provide continuous support to the impacted communities.
