Tlalnepantla floods trigger extensive health aid and pump restoration

The State of Mexico's health department launched an emergency operation in Tlalnepantla after recent floods, carrying out more than 1,300 actions. Nine medical brigades—two fixed and seven house‑to‑house—were deployed, involving primary‑care technicians, doctors, nurses, vaccinators and health promoters. The effort delivered 535 hepatitis A‑B, pneumococcal, tetanus, diphtheria, rotavirus, measles, rubella and mumps vaccines, 720 oral rehydration packs, 62 albendazole doses, and provided vital‑sign checks, wound care, glucose testing and rapid lipid tests. Additional support included distribution of coloidal silver, informational materials on sanitation and disinfection, and cleaning of nine water cisterns.

Municipal authorities also restored four flood‑pumping stations (cárcamos) in the Los Reyes Ixtacala neighborhood and placed 1,500 sandbags at ground‑level entries to reduce future risk. A census of damaged homes is underway to assess losses and determine eligibility for municipal aid, while residents await insurance evaluations. Authorities continue to monitor weather forecasts and keep command posts active as heavy rains are expected.
