Mexico City Delegation Reports Over 180 Trees Downed by Heavy Rains

Intense rainfall has led to significant disruption in Mexico City's Miguel Hidalgo delegation, with authorities reporting over 180 trees felled by the downpour. The "Operativo Tormenta" (Storm Operation) was activated to manage the emergency, which includes clearing fallen trees, addressing water accumulation, and mitigating flooding in various neighborhoods.

Teams from Urban Services, Civil Protection, Blindar MH, and Government and Legal Affairs conducted supervisory tours, led by Mayor Mauricio Tabe. Preliminary reports indicate that areas such as Granada, San Miguel Chapultepec, Argentina Antigua, Pensil Norte, Deportiva Pensil, Reforma Pensil, Popo, Anáhuac, and Polanco were among the most affected by falling trees.

Crews are working through the night and into Friday morning to address immediate emergencies and restore safety and mobility. Urban Services and Works teams will focus on sectioning and removing the fallen trees, while the Environment Directorate will handle the disposal of plant debris. Information will be provided to residents regarding the restoration of electricity and water services.

Mayor Tabe assured affected families that all delegation areas remain deployed until the storm's impacts are resolved and safety conditions are restored. For those working from home without power, the delegation has opened its "Faros del Saber" and sports facilities, offering access to computers and internet from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The Miguel Hidalgo Cabinet is coordinating with the Mexico City government's Secretariat of Integral Risk Management and Civil Protection, the Fire Department, and the Federal Electricity Commission to expedite service restoration.
