Yellow alert issued for four regions in Hidalgo amid heavy rain forecast

Hidalgo's State Civil Protection System has raised a yellow alert across four regions of the state, citing rising water levels in rivers and reservoirs, coupled with forecasts for continued rainfall. This proactive measure aims to mitigate risks associated with potential overflows and flooding in the coming days.

The alert specifically targets areas where water bodies are nearing or have surpassed their usual capacity. Permanent monitoring is in place for the Tunititlán bridge in Mixquiahuala, the Calabozos River in Huautla, and the communities of San Bartolo Tutotepec, Huehuetla, and Chapula in Tianguistengo. These locations are under 24-hour surveillance to track any changes in water levels and potential threats.

Residents in these at-risk zones are strongly advised to exercise extreme caution, particularly when crossing rivers, streams, or any flowing water. The increased water levels pose a significant danger to personal safety. Authorities are urging the public to heed all instructions from emergency services and to remain prepared for possible precautionary evacuations should the situation escalate.
