The Chihuahua Municipal Government is implementing the ‘Derrumbando la Inseguridad’ program to manage hazardous properties. The initiative utilizes a coordinated approach involving the Municipal Institute for Prevention and Health Care (IMPAS), Municipal Police, Firefighters, and urban maintenance departments.

To date, the program has conducted 43 technical assessments, resulting in seven demolitions and seven instances of cordoning off residential properties. Interventions are determined by technical evaluations and include cleaning, rehabilitation, or demolition to mitigate structural decay, waste accumulation, and the proliferation of pests.
