No injuries after derailment in the mountainous area

A freight train derailed in the municipality of Camerino Z. Mendoza, in the central mountainous region of Veracruz. The incident left no people injured, local authorities confirmed.

Several hoppers left the road, forcing the closure of nearby streets and avenues in the Nogales-Mendoza conurbation. Elements of the Municipal Public Security Directorate came to cordon off the area and prevent major risks.

Ferrosur works on partial reopening

Ferrosur personnel carried out maneuvers to partially reopen traffic on Miguel Hidalgo and Santos Degollado avenues. The work to remove the carriages could last up to two days, sources from the railway company reported.

Road traffic remains interrupted at strategic points, but it is expected that it will gradually return to normal in the coming hours. There are no reports of damage to homes or basic services in the area.

Baja California Sur begins the most intense phase of the hurricane season with its five municipalities classified as at very high risk from tropical cyclones. The National Civil Protection Coordination confirmed 27 critical flood points and an exposed population of almost 800 thousand people, all of its inhabitants.

Risk map

Comondú concentrates the greatest vulnerability to flooding, due to its plain geography where runoff from neighboring municipalities accumulates. In the diagnosis, 12 critical points are in Los Cabos, 10 in La Paz, three in Comondú, one in Mulegé and one in Loreto. Mulegé also faces the risk of landslides.

Laura Velázquez Alzúa, national coordinator of Civil Protection, recalled that since 1950 NOAA has documented 80 tropical systems that impacted or passed near BCS. Cyclone Liza, in 1976, is the most serious disaster: it left a thousand dead and nearly 20 thousand people affected.

“History is formative; it gives us information to prepare for tomorrow,” said Velázquez.

Preparations and shelters

The National Meteorological Service predicts up to 21 cyclones in the Mexican Pacific. The state undersecretary of Civil Protection, Héctor Amparano Herrera, reported that there are 169 temporary shelters with capacity for 33,192 people, with the possibility of expansion. In Los Cabos, 256 tons of waste have been removed from 13 kilometers of streams.

Governor Víctor Castro Cosío requested coordination with mayors and recognized the support of the Armed Forces. “It is time to close ranks,” warned Velázquez, insisting on vigilance due to slope instability.
