Overview
- City officials activated a hydration point at El Peregrino shelter operating 10 a.m.–5 p.m., starting with space for 25 people and scalable to about 80.
- Mobile brigades under the “S.O.S. Rescate en las Calles” program are canvassing areas like the Centro, Río Nuevo and public parks to deliver water, food and electrolyte solutions.
- The DIF launched the plan on an emergency basis and purchased 300 oral rehydration serums as it awaits support from the state Health Secretariat.
- Forecasts call for temperatures reaching roughly 40–42°C this week, leading the mayor to acknowledge that protocols normally used from May were advanced after the early heat caught services off guard.
- Authorities plan additional hydration points at community centers and police and fire stations, with potential partnerships including the Red Cross, aiming to avoid a repeat of 10 heat-related deaths recorded in 2025.
