The Municipal Civil Protection Council has been formally integrated to enhance prevention and response capabilities against natural and human-induced contingencies. Authorities are prioritizing coordination across government levels to mitigate risks during the current rainy and hurricane season. Officials have identified approximately 1,600 families living in irregular settlements, a number that may rise following upcoming census efforts. High-risk areas, such as canyons and the Nodo Pemex zone, have been flagged due to water accumulation. In preparation for the El Niño phenomenon, authorities plan to collaborate with public works departments to clean drainage areas and develop special programs for Cañón Morales, Cañón Rosarito, and Cañón Cordero. Additional measures include enhancing emergency response training and developing internal civil protection programs for municipal buildings. In Hidalgo, emergency response efforts have intensified with the establishment of a Command Post to coordinate prevention and response. Officials in this region have identified dozens of municipalities at high risk of flooding. Local municipal councils continue to work on identifying families residing in irregular, high-risk settlements to strengthen disaster preparedness in anticipation of the El Niño phenomenon and the rainy season.
