The Government of Jalisco, municipal authorities, and DIF continue with the delivery of support to the inhabitants of the coastal areas that were affected by the passage of Hurricane Nora.
More than 20 public servants work in coronation to get the support to the population.
On this occasion, state workers delivered pantries and basic necessities to residents of the municipality of Cabo Corriente, within the towns of Corrales, Chimo, Pizota, Químixto and Las Animas. It is important to mention that these towns are difficult to access, therefore the support had to be delivered through different means of transport such as boats or pangas.
The support provided brought a benefit to more than 950 people who were affected after the passage of the category one hurricane, which impacted the state.
SADER Jalisco has also responded to the area, increasing its support with its own machinery and the A Toda Machine Program to respond to emergencies that have arisen, both by the effects of the storm, or for other circumstances.
The head of the agency, Salvador Álvarez García, visited the Coastal Region to supervise the damage caused in the agricultural sector and to learn directly about the repairs needed due to the damage to urban and rural infrastructure in the affected municipalities, from Cihuatlán to Puerto Vallarta, which has included the cleaning of the beaches so that this helps to detonate the economy to the extent that the climate and sanitary conditions allow.
Regarding his stay these days on the Coast, the state official was able to verify that the recent actions of SADER Jalisco in the surveillance and rehabilitation of channels have prevented greater damage during the hurricane seasons.
He cited as an example, the reinforcement of the channel in the east of the Marabasco River in Cihuatlán, which has been a determining factor in avoiding floods that had severe problems for agriculture and nearby populations.
The director of Machinery and Public Goods, Oscar Monroy Ayala, detailed that municipalities that were severely affected by the passage of Nora off the coast have been monitored, as in the case of Autlán, which had seven streams overflowing.
Prior to the arrival of the hurricane, the ATM team made 35 machines available to the Costa region; 32 in the Sierra Occidental, and 59 in the Sierra de Amula. Among the most demanded equipment are payloaders, backhoes, D6 tractors and dump trucks, among others. The operational performance of SADER Jalisco will continue throughout the hurricane season.
From the Government of Jalisco we endorse our commitment to provide support to all those affected and we will continue working in a coordinated manner to get resources immediately to those who need them.
It is important to make a call to the general population to stay informed through official channels and not fall into misinformation, as well as avoid crossing rivers or streams, and maximize their care during the present storm and in case of emergency dial 911.
