Ongoing flooding and school repairs in Chihuahua

Overview

Following the significant rise in the Río Bravo and subsequent flooding, recovery and emergency response efforts continue across Chihuahua. The Chihuahua Secretariat of Education and Sports (SEyD) has initiated infrastructure repairs through the ‘Juntos Construimos’ program. In Ciudad Juárez, the Ichife institute completed a second delivery of waterproofing materials, paint, and lighting to 10 affected schools, including preschools, primary, and technical secondary schools.

While previous reports indicated a decrease in river flow, new heavy rainfall between October 15 and October 16 has triggered 90 reported emergencies across multiple municipalities, according to the State Civil Protection Coordination (CEPC). Chihuahua City recorded the highest volume of incidents with 48 reports, including 21 floods, four landslides, and ten rescues.

Other significant activity includes 19 incidents in Camargo, primarily flooding, and 14 reports in Ciudad Juárez involving electrical issues and fallen trees. In Delicias, Meoqui, Ojinaga, and Uruachi, strong winds caused structural damage to homes. In the Nombre de Dios neighborhood, an adobe house collapsed due to intense rain; while the occupants were safe, authorities have cordoned off the area due to the risk of further collapses.

In response to the damage, the Chihuahua State Government has allocated 1.4 million pesos to repair 44 schools in Ciudad Juárez. The final phase of this rehabilitation program involved distributing 150 buckets of waterproofing material and 23 buckets of paint to 12 basic education schools, including several kindergartens and Federal Secondary School No. 21. Florencio Peña, the Ichife delegate for the Northern Zone, stated the intervention aims to provide ‘dignified facilities for academic activities.’
