Mexico City deployed its Tlaloque 2.0 plan after Sunday’s rains, which brought more than 5.2 million cubic meters of water across the capital. Rain continued through Sunday night, with similar precipitation forecast for early Monday.

The Mexico City Fire Department said it had handled 20 fallen trees, five short circuits, four flooded areas and one fallen pole as the rain persisted. The city’s water management secretariat, Segiagua, deployed 136 staff members and 55 pieces of equipment, including 18 hydro-pneumatic units, 11 Hercules units, seven emergency units, a crane, water trucks and other vehicles.

Segiagua crews addressed 29% of the flooding reported in the Iztacalco and Iztapalapa boroughs. Teams worked on flooding at Avenida Norte and Calle 7, near the Iztacalco and Nezahualcóyotl boundary, where they carried out drainage and water extraction to reduce disruption to traffic.
