Cleanup efforts have concluded in the Los Reyes Ixtacala neighborhood after heavy rains and the overflow of the Río de los Remedios caused significant flooding. The inundation occurred when the pumping station's overflow led to the river's water level rising, overwhelming drainage systems.

Authorities have maintained a close watch on potential risks and continue to offer medical assistance to the affected population. The cleanup involved extensive work, including the removal of mud and debris, clearing out the sewage network, and washing common areas. Specialized equipment such as vacuum trucks, water tankers, and loaders were deployed to aid in these operations.

While the main roadways have been fully restored, authorities are reinforcing the pumping system to handle increased water flow. The temporary shelter established at the Mental Health Community Center remains operational, providing general medical consultations, dental services, psychological support, and health screenings. The focus remains on ensuring the safety and well-being of the residents in the aftermath of the disaster.
