Heavy downpour continues in Mexico City (CDMX) after a storm; a red alert has been issued for tonight.
In the heart of Mexico City, the Integrated Risk Management and Civil Protection Secretariat (SGIRPC) set off the red alert siren at 9 PM sharp on Monday, June 2, 2025. Heavy rain, accompanied by a fierce hailstorm, was predicted for the night and the early hours of Tuesday in the neighborhoods of Coyoacán, Iztapalapa, and Miguel Hidalgo.
To keep things under control, it's essential to stay informed and react swiftly. Here's a simplified guide based on emergency protocols for extreme weather conditions:
Here's Your Emergency Game Plan
- Stay tuned to the latest updates from SGIRPC, weather authorities, and emergency services via official channels.
- Keep indoors as much as possible. Brutal rain and hailstorms can create a hostile environment, putting you at risk of flooding, falling debris, and other dangers.
- Steer clear of low-lying areas prone to flooding, especially rivers and streams, as water levels can skyrocket during heavy rain.
- Secure loose objects on balconies, patios, and rooftops, as strong winds and hail could easily send them flying.
- Put together an emergency kit with essentials like water, food, first aid supplies, medications, flashlights, and important documents, just in case evacuation becomes necessary.
- If you have to travel, follow guidance from local authorities and emergency services. It's best to stay home if possible.
- If you get caught outside when the alert is issued, find immediate shelter in a sturdy building, avoiding standing near trees or electrical lines.
- Care for vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities, ensuring they have the necessary support.
These steps help reduce risks and increase safety during severe weather events when a red alert is active. Always follow the guidelines provided by the SGIRPC for the most accurate and timely information during the alert period.
In case of emergency, don't hesitate to contact 911 or the SGIRPC's hotline (555683-2222). Stay safe, Mexico City!
