Weather emergencies cause widespread damage in Mexico, Paraguay, and Argentina
Multiple regions are facing severe weather-related emergencies. In Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, heavy rainfall has caused significant damage, affecting approximately 700 homes and 400 neighborhoods. Local authorities have reported 373 emergency services, including 112 flood reports, 14 rescues, and the loss of roughly 200 vehicles. The municipal government has formally requested an emergency declaration from the state to secure necessary resources such as heavy machinery and materials for repairs.
In Puerto Casado, Paraguay, a storm has impacted an estimated 100 families, with significant damage reported in indigenous Maskoy communities.
